The Tiwi tradition of wood carving has translated seamlessly into this unique style of printmaking. The resulting prints from Munupi Arts and Crafts, Tiwi Design and Jilamara Arts and Craft provides a fresh and exciting addition to an already impressive printmaking history on the Tiwi Islands which began in the 1960s.

Julie Nangala Robinson (Alice Springs, Northern Territory) Julie Nangala Robinson is one of five daughters born in Yuendumu in 1973 to well-known Telstra Award winning artist, Dorothy Napangardi. Since the late1990’s while often in the company of her talented mother, Julie has pursued and developed a creative visual language all of her own, one which consists of a fascinating blend of stylized experimentation and ancient narrative. Using an aerial perspective along with either a distinctive monochromatic or colourful palette, Julie’s current paintings (which depict the topographical features of her traditional country at the site of Pirlinyanu) have become works of extraordinary optical brilliance as she alternates the size of dots throughout her work as well as building up specific shapes or reference points often by repeated overdotting.

Rusiate Lali (Fiji) Rusiate, one of the most exciting and provocative artists to exhibit at Gallery Gondwana, comes from a long lineage of potters, carvers, tapa cloth and fibre artists. Named Contemporary Fijian Artist of the Year in 1999, Rusiate’s work is a sensuous mix of past and present, myth and reality. He has had seven solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions. To date much of his work has explored his personal experiences and his universal awareness of social issues. He handles these subjects with intelligence and sensitivity. Living between Fiji and Australia, Rusiate is a multi-media artist, exploring film, music, dance, storytelling and writing.

Dorothy Napangardi (Alice Springs, Northern Territory) Dorothy has been painting since 1987 and has won several major prizes including the 18th National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award in 2001. Her work was honoured with a major survey exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney in 2002. Dorothy’s prints reflect her strong cultural and ancestral ties to the land. With a focus on the Women’s Jukurrpa (Dreaming), these works follow the long journeys of Women Ancestors from Mina Mina. Carrying their digging sticks, the women walk and dance, visiting many significant sites, staying in some places to rest, going underground and later re-emerging. Last changed on 08/16/10.

Mitjili Napanangka (Alice Springs - Northern Territory) When Miltjili was a young girl, her aunties would tell her stories about her country and the Jukurrpa or Dreaming stories associated with Mina Mina, a sacred site for Napanangka’s and Napangardi’s. Mitjili is a traditional woman, who spends much time in Alice Springs these days, but always looks forward to her regular bush trips with family, to hunt for goanna, echidna and other bush delicacies. Mitjili paints mythological narrative relating to her country and often will depict narrative through multiple layers in the one painting. She uses an aerial perspective and highlights important sites with a painterly but also spontaneous technique. Last changed on 08/16/10. This album contains 2 items.
