Artist's Biography:
Patrick Olodoodi Tjungurrayi was born at Yalangerri near Jupiter Well in Western Australia. After coming in from the desert in the late 1970's Tjungurrayi began painting for the Warlayirti Artists in Balgo, NT. He later moved to Kiwikurra and painted for Papunya Tula artists.
Patrick Tjungurrayi was a senior law man and was responsible for upholding the traditional ceremonies for the country around Balgo, Kiriwrrkurra and Kintore. Before he passed away in 2017 he lived in the Pintupi community of Kintore, NT.
Tjungurrayi began painting in 1986 with works included in the major survey exhibition Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius shown at the Art Gallery of NSW. His works attracted strong interest for their unique combination of Kiwirrkura and Balgo styles and highly distinctive colours. His patterns and stories associated with the Western desert Pintupi artists are enhanced by the thick application of paint more associated with the Balgo artists. Tjungurrayi’s paintings relate to the events of the Tingari sites from which he has inherited his dreaming stories and the travels of the ancestors. He often incorporates the ceremonial design of Wanawarra (rainbow snake).
Tjungarrayi became a great advocate for health access for the residents of the Western Desert communities. His paintings, along with the work of other artists working in Kintore and Kiwikurra, were auctioned at the AGNSW, raising just over a million Australian dollars to fund a traveling dialysis truck. This truck is now decorated with Patrick Tjungurrayi's painting on one side. His work, both artistic and in health, has been featured in a book by anthropologist and art historian, John Carty and is currently featured in the purple House exhibition on the ground floor of the AGNSW.

Large Stunning Australian Aboriginal Painting by Naata Nungurrayi
By Naata Nungurrayi
Located in Atlanta, GA
A large and stunning contemporary abstract painting by celebrated Australian Aboriginal artist Naata Nungurrayi (1932-2021), stretched and ready for display. A rare masterpiece of the museum quality dating from the peak of the artist's creative output in 2003. The canvas is singular in both the impressive size and tine quality, and it comes with full provenance and step by step photos (100 in total) recording the creation of this significant piece of work.
The artist used fine dots as the sole element to compose a complex dreamtime landscape where Women's Ceremony took place in her ancestral time. The place is located at Marrapinti and its surrounds, where many water soakage holes were located. Dots in brilliant shifting and contrasting colors form ceremonial Tingari symbols performed by the women, black crawling tracks that may be associated with a site called Karilywarra (two carpet snakes) and mesmerizing Tali (sandhill) movements surrounding the canvas. The work is of the signature style of the artist, singular and easily recognizable. The fine quality of this work is exemplary.
Medium: acrylic on Belgium Linen
Cat no. NN200315
Provenance: Yanda Aboriginal Art, NT.
The painting comes with a COA letter and an artist biograph issued by Yanda Aboriginal Art and a presentation album with 100 photos that documented the entire process of the creation of this large work of art. The edge of the painting bears name of the artist as well as the stamp of the gallery as shown.
