Fresh to the store room and returned from a major art prize, we present this illustrious and joyful depiction of Wantili by Ngamaru Bidu. The sunlit sandhills, claypans full after rain, and shine with generations of walking Country. Never by accident; Ngamaru uses colour intentionally to embody the feelings of Wantili in specific seasonal times. This abundant work spills onto the canvas, reminisce of the over flowing claypan’s and the delight this brings.

Wantili is a large soak and claypan near Well 25 on the Canning Stock Route. This is her grandfather’s and father’s Country, where her family camped, swam and hunted in the pujiman (desert-dwelling) days.

“Sandhill, sandhill, sandhill everywhere. Claypan there, in the middle. Good place for swimming and drinking.”

Wantili was also a meeting place where Kartujarra, Manyjilyjarra, Putijarra and Warnman people came together. It’s a stop in the Minyipuru (Seven Sisters) Dreaming story too, where the sisters rested before throwing seeds.

We have this spectacular work by up and coming Martu artist Cyril Whyoulter available for sale now - framed and ready in Perth but can be shipped nationally.

The grandson of revered artist Bugai Whyoulter, he was raised in Parnngurr and Punmu. Cyril learned to paint alongside his grandmother and developed his own unmistakable style. His art works are powerful embodied depictions of Country.

This work Jartuti 2 is associated with the cannibal story of Lake Disappointment.

“Jaturti is the ngurra for the Attwood, Williams, Jackson, and Sammy families. They come from this area. My mother’s mother [Pinyirr Nancy Patterson (dec.)], my nanna was born right at Jartuti. Her family used to stay at this yinta (permanent spring) for most of the year. Here, [close to Jartuti] is Wangkakalu, that’s a ngurra for all the families staying at that waterhole, looking after Country.”

Lily Jatarr Long is a Warnman woman and custodian of the Karlamilyi (Rudall River) region. She was born in the late 1930’s at Jatarrngara, a water source located along the Karlamilyi River, and the site from which her name is derived.

Jatarr grew up with her family in the area surrounding Tiwa (Canning Stock Route Well 26), a water source located east of Parnngurr Aboriginal Community and just west of a culturally significant group of hills called Partujarrapirri. Her family returned to the Karlamily region moving between camps located all along the Karlamily River and up to the large salt lake, Nyayartakujarra (Lake Dora).

In the late 1940’s her family travelled on foot for more than 200 kilometres to Jigalong Mission, where a supply of rationed food and water was assured. There they were reunited with family members that had already moved in from the desert.

At Jigalong, Jatarr lived in a dormitory with her two sisters and went to school. Later, she worked as a cook on various pastoral stations in the Pilbara and mined minerals with a yandy (dish used for winnowing seed).

Jatarr primarily depicts her ngurra (home Country, camp) in Karlamilyi; its animals, plants, waterholes and associated Jukurrpa (Dreaming) stories. Jatarr uses her artwork as a means of transferring cultural knowledge to her children and grandchildren, and as a political platform, protecting her Country from mining and other disruptions.

We are so thrilled to see this exceptional depiction of Karlamilyi Capella Sydney curated by Samreen| Custom illustrations, wedding invites. Make sure you say hi to this wonderful work when you visit!

From little things big things grow! Truely crazy amazing artist .prince.siddon envisioned this wall at a studio in Fremantle last year - plodding away on many large canvas for the Sydney biennale and the MCA - we hung out and supported him to create these works - so insane to see it all come to life ! Testament to his singular aesthetic, his power as an artist and his ability to succinctly comment on the Australian experience. Well done mate - your an Auzzie hero -
