Contemporary Australian Aboriginal Painting by Walangkura Napanangka
Located in Atlanta, GA
A striking abstract painting by Australian Aboriginal painter Walangkura Napanangka (1940-2014), one of the matching pair painted in 2007 in Alice Spring. Entitled "Kutungka", acrylic on Belgium linen, inscribed on reverse with gallery catalog no.
"Kutungka" depicts the landscape of a country where an old woman named "Kutungka" travelled from Malparingya to Kaltarra in Western Desert during the Dreamtime creation. The highly abstract forms are the dreamtime memory of the land features, such as rock piles and waterholes.
Provenance: Grasstree Gallery, Australia.
It comes with a COA from the gallery as well as progressive photos taken during the creation of this painting by the artist in 2007.
