From the Desert

From the Desert presents artworks by leading senior painters of the Western and Central Desert art movement. The artists are from many language groups including Pintupi, Warlpiri, Pitjantjatjara, Anmatyerre and Alyawarre.  The greatest stylistic differences amongst these artists occur between the Western Desert styles, which are often defined by a geometric and the optical repetition of motifs, and the Central Desert style which tends to be more colour oriented, organic and fluid.

Amongst the many major artists contributing to this exhibition are Ronnie Tjampitjinpa, George Hairbrush Tjungurrayi, Yukulti Napangati, Tommy Watson, Thomas Tjapaltjarri, Walangkura Napanangka, Ningura Napurrula, Gloria Petyarre and Kudditji Kngwarreye. This exhibition will be on view at Japingka Gallery until 8 April 2026.
