Vistas

A brief survey of artists whose works are well represented in the collection at Japingka Gallery. We have included a broad sampling of paintings including major artists Dorothy Napangardi, Abie Loy Kemarre and Walala Tjapaltjarri, and new exciting works from Jackie Wirramanda, Delvine Petyarre and Esther Bruno Nangala. The exhibition title ‘Vistas’ refers to ‘a beautiful, expansive view of scenery, or a mental outlook on future possibilities.’ The artists build on this theme as a natural reference to their relationship with their Country.

Dorothy Napangardi expressed her own feelings and motivation “While I’m doing my painting, I always have my family in mind. We went back to see my Country. We’re going back for more singing, making our Jukurrpa, my country.” Over twenty artists are showing work and the exhibition runs until 31 August.
