SHORTY JANGALA ROBERTSON & LIDDY NAPANANGKA WALKER AT TUNBRIDGE GALLERY (3 - 23 APRIL 2010)

Tunbridge Gallery, in conjunction with Warlukurlangu Artists, are pleased to showcase over Easter a selection of paintings by Shorty Jangala Robertson and Liddy Napanangka Walker, both senior artists from Yuendumu north of Alice Springs.

Shorty, now aged 85, did not start painting until in his 70's. His use of colour to paint and interpret his dreamings of Ngapa (water), Watiyawarnu (acacia), Yankirri (emu), and Pamapardu (flying ant) is vital, yet upholding the Warlpiri tradition. Shorty's paintings are held in a number of major galleries, including the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra where one of his paintings is currently featured in the Emerging Elders exhibition and the Art Gallery of New South Wales as well as in a number of other public and private collections.

Liddy has been painting since shortly after the Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Association was established. She paints her father and grandfather's dreaming and has a number of themes, including Wakirlpirri (dogwood seed) Warna (snake) and Wanakiji (bush tomato). Her work has been exhibited in Australia, Europe and America., Her paintings are included in a number of important collections, including the National Gallery of Australia Canberra, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Art Gallery of South Australia.
