It is old, spacious country of red sandhills, spinifex plains and rockholes that hold water long after the rain has gone, and she spent her early life moving through it on foot, living the way Pintupi families had lived there for thousands of years. Her first journey out of the desert came in 1962, travelling with a Northern Territory Welfare Branch patrol so her young son could be treated at Papunya. She returned to Kiwirrkurra that same year, and came back again the following year with her family group during the drought migration that brought many Pintupi people east. The family later settled at Walungurru, known as Kintore.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eShe was married to Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi, a founding painter of Papunya Tula and one of the great exponents of the men's Tingari style. Through the 1980s at Kintore, Ningura worked on his canvases, laying in the dense background dotting that carried his designs. In 1995 she joined the Kintore and Haasts Bluff women's painting project, then in its second year, and it was there that her own hand emerged. She formally joined Papunya Tula Artists in 1996 as part of the group of senior Kintore and Kiwirrkurra women whose arrival reshaped the company and, with it, the direction of Western Desert painting. Her first solo exhibition came in 2000 at William Mora Galleries in Melbourne, the same year her work appeared in Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. After her husband's death in 1998 her output grew, and so did her standing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eHer work is unmistakable. She built her canvases from heavy layers of acrylic, laid on with real physical weight, and organised them around strong sweeping linear designs. Long curved bands, concentric roundels and dense rows of dotting move across the surface with a rhythm that feels almost like breathing. Her palette shifts from soft pinks and corals to hot yellows, deep reds, ochres and stark black and white, and she used colour boldly, letting the ground push up through the layers above it so the surface reads with real depth. That layering has been compared to the way women apply paint to skin in ceremony. Where her husband painted men's Tingari, Ningura painted the lives, journeys and ceremonial law of women, and she is remembered as much for her authority as a keeper of that knowledge as for the paintings themselves. She also gave works to help establish and support the Western Desert dialysis service, and one of her designs travelled across remote communities on the side of its truck.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eDREAMINGS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWomen's Ceremony \u003c\/span\u003e- This is Awelye, the ceremonial life of Pintupi women.

The long curved bands and arcs that dominate her canvases carry these forms.

It is old, spacious country of red sandhills, spinifex plains and rockholes that hold water long after the rain has gone, and she spent her early life moving through it on foot, living the way Pintupi families had lived there for thousands of years. Her first journey out of the desert came in 1962, travelling with a Northern Territory Welfare Branch patrol so her young son could be treated at Papunya. She returned to Kiwirrkurra that same year, and came back again the following year with her family group during the drought migration that brought many Pintupi people east. The family later settled at Walungurru, known as Kintore.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eShe was married to Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi, a founding painter of Papunya Tula and one of the great exponents of the men's Tingari style. Through the 1980s at Kintore, Ningura worked on his canvases, laying in the dense background dotting that carried his designs. In 1995 she joined the Kintore and Haasts Bluff women's painting project, then in its second year, and it was there that her own hand emerged. She formally joined Papunya Tula Artists in 1996 as part of the group of senior Kintore and Kiwirrkurra women whose arrival reshaped the company and, with it, the direction of Western Desert painting. Her first solo exhibition came in 2000 at William Mora Galleries in Melbourne, the same year her work appeared in Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. After her husband's death in 1998 her output grew, and so did her standing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eHer work is unmistakable. She built her canvases from heavy layers of acrylic, laid on with real physical weight, and organised them around strong sweeping linear designs. Long curved bands, concentric roundels and dense rows of dotting move across the surface with a rhythm that feels almost like breathing. Her palette shifts from soft pinks and corals to hot yellows, deep reds, ochres and stark black and white, and she used colour boldly, letting the ground push up through the layers above it so the surface reads with real depth. That layering has been compared to the way women apply paint to skin in ceremony. Where her husband painted men's Tingari, Ningura painted the lives, journeys and ceremonial law of women, and she is remembered as much for her authority as a keeper of that knowledge as for the paintings themselves. She also gave works to help establish and support the Western Desert dialysis service, and one of her designs travelled across remote communities on the side of its truck.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eDREAMINGS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWomen's Ceremony \u003c\/span\u003e- This is Awelye, the ceremonial life of Pintupi women.

In this painting Silvia shows three foods. Witchetty grubs are the large, pale grubs that live in the roots of the witchetty bush and other acacias; women dig down to the roots to pull them out, and they are eaten raw or lightly cooked in hot ashes. Bush tomato is a small fruit from a low shrub with soft grey green leaves that springs up after fire and rain; the fruit dries on the bush into a sweet morsel much like a raisin. Honey ants live in deep nests in mulga country, where some of the workers store nectar in their swollen golden bodies; women dig down, often a metre or more, to reach them, and the sweet honey is a much loved treat.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis painting was purchased directly from Silvia. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShe has signed the work, a photo of Silvia with her painting will be provided, and a gallery certificate of authenticity will be provided with the sale.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/9130\/6797\/files\/SILVIA_HEAD_SHOT_2_240x240.jpg?v=1606784992\" alt=\"Silvia Heffernan\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SILVIA HEFFERNAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34981302173741,"sku":"SH16","price":1550.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/9130\/6797\/products\/adjustexposure.jpg?v=1660549792"},{"product_id":"barbara-reid-minyma-tingari","title":"BARBARA NAPANGARTI REID - Minyma Tingari","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBARBARA NAPANGARTI REID\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTITLE: MINYMA TINGARI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eACRYLIC ON CANVAS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90CM X 59CM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBARBARA HAS SIGNED THE PAINTING AND A PHOTO WILL BE PROVIDED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREF#BR18\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDOB: c.1964.

Barbara's own daughter Suzie is Nangala, which is where a Napangarti woman's daughter lands.

Her father's mother came from Pintupi country, and that grandmother's younger sister was the noted painter Kai Kai Nampitjinpa, so Barbara carries a Pintupi connection running alongside her Ngaanyatjarra one. She is also related to the late Ningura Napurrula, one of the great Pintupi painters of Kintore, and has painted the Wirrulnga birthing ceremony story alongside Ningura's daughters.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShe was still a baby in arms when her family left that country on foot. They walked out through Tjukurla, heading toward Lupul and on in the direction of Uluru, an immense distance to cover carrying a child. Somewhere south east of Docker River her father stopped an army truck travelling through. This was the era when government policy was to bring desert families in off their homelands, and the truck took them on to the settlement at Papunya. Barbara lived there until she was about sixteen, then made her own way to Alice Springs. She began painting in 1987 with the Centre for Aboriginal Artists, spent some years in Adelaide, and has since returned to Alice Springs, where she paints today.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHer country is the reason her paintings look the way they do. This is ancient ground, a place of long red sandhills running one behind the other to the horizon, weathered rock formations standing up out of the spinifex, and rockholes holding water in country that gives up very little of it. Like many desert artists, Barbara paints it from above, the way it is held in memory and in song rather than the way it is seen standing in it. The tali roll across the canvas in bands, the puli sit as solid shapes among them, and the rockholes and bush foods are marked where they truly are. It is a map, a story and a piece of Country all at once.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarbara's hand is unmistakable.

Dinni's older brother, Anatjari Tjampitjinpa, was one of the original artists painting in Papunya, and Dinni himself learned his craft by watching the old men paint through the 1970s. In 1981, the legendary Uta Uta Tjangala — considered one of the founding masters of the Western Desert art movement — personally invited Dinni to assist in painting a large canvas depicting events at the sacred site of Yumari, a remarkable honour.

Her own sisters Mary, Rita and Elizabeth paint as well, and her daughters also paint and carry the Bush Plum forward. Gracie was a senior custodian for the Altyerre (Dreaming) and for the wide stretch of country it belongs to, with the responsibility for Bush Plum passed to her through her family under traditional law. She passed away in 2024, and the body of work she left behind is one of the most recognisable to come out of Utopia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eHer early years were spent living off the land, walking country with the women and gathering bush foods, and that knowledge sits underneath everything she later put on canvas. Her art practice began in the 1970s with the Utopia Women's Batik Group, working dye and wax on silk. Those batiks were taken up early by the Robert Holmes à Court Collection, one of the most significant private collections in the country. When acrylic paint and canvas were brought to the women of Utopia in the late 1980s through the project known as A Summer Project, Gracie moved her designs across to the new medium and kept developing them for the next three decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eGracie worked from an aerial perspective, the view of country as it is seen from above, which is how many Utopia artists paint their land. She built her paintings from very fine dots laid down in close, patient layers, shifting the tone slightly from one layer to the next so the surface seems to lift and recede as you move in front of it. The palette is restrained and the effect is quietly three dimensional.

Like many desert artists Lily paints it from above, the whole sweep of country laid open at once, so you are looking down on ridge after ridge running away to the horizon. She works with almost no colour, mostly fine white dotting over black, the dots shifting in size and density until the surface lifts and hollows and moves under your eye.

It is old country, a pale sweep of salt and spinifex ringed by low tali sandhills that shift colour as the sun moves across them, and it holds the rockholes and ceremonial sites that Makinti carried with her for the rest of her life. She grew up living the traditional Pintupi way, and her first sight of white people came when she watched men travelling by camel near Lupul. In the early 1940s she walked in to Haasts Bluff with her family, long before Papunya was built. She later lived at Papunya, and settled at Kintore when that community was established.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eHer painting life began late and moved quickly. She was one of the senior women who took part in the collaborative Haasts Bluff and Kintore women's painting project, a body of major canvases completed in 1994 and shown at the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute in Adelaide. That project marked the point at which Pintupi women stepped forward as independent artists in the Western Desert movement, rather than working as helpers on paintings belonging to their husbands and brothers. In 1996 Makinti began painting for Papunya Tula Artists, alongside her cousin and painting companion Tatali Nangala, and she went on to become the most senior woman painting with the company as well as a shareholder and director of it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eWhat set her apart was her hand. Where much Western Desert painting is built up through the patient placing of dots with a fine stick, Makinti worked with a loaded brush and a gestural sweep that came straight out of the way ochre is drawn across the body for women's ceremony. Her canvases are layered, thick with paint, alive with movement. Bands of pale line arc and twist across grounds of orange and ochre, lit up with bursts of pink, mauve and yellow. The effect is less a map of country than the feel of country, the rhythm of feet and song and skirts turning in the dust.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eRecognition came steadily. Australian Art Collector magazine named her one of Australia's 50 Most Collectable Artists three years running, in 2003, 2004 and 2005, and she was a repeated finalist in the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award through that decade before taking out the top prize in 2008. By then her work was being acquired by every major public collection in the country, and Utopia Art Sydney's director had described her as the Central Desert's finest painter since Emily Kngwarreye, with no living match for her painterly freedom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eTowards the end of her painting career Makinti's eyesight was failing, but it did not dampen her passion for painting.

It is old country, a pale sweep of salt and spinifex ringed by low tali sandhills that shift colour as the sun moves across them, and it holds the rockholes and ceremonial sites that Makinti carried with her for the rest of her life. She grew up living the traditional Pintupi way, and her first sight of white people came when she watched men travelling by camel near Lupul. In the early 1940s she walked in to Haasts Bluff with her family, long before Papunya was built. She later lived at Papunya, and settled at Kintore when that community was established.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eHer painting life began late and moved quickly. She was one of the senior women who took part in the collaborative Haasts Bluff and Kintore women's painting project, a body of major canvases completed in 1994 and shown at the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute in Adelaide. That project marked the point at which Pintupi women stepped forward as independent artists in the Western Desert movement, rather than working as helpers on paintings belonging to their husbands and brothers. In 1996 Makinti began painting for Papunya Tula Artists, alongside her cousin and painting companion Tatali Nangala, and she went on to become the most senior woman painting with the company as well as a shareholder and director of it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eWhat set her apart was her hand. Where much Western Desert painting is built up through the patient placing of dots with a fine stick, Makinti worked with a loaded brush and a gestural sweep that came straight out of the way ochre is drawn across the body for women's ceremony. Her canvases are layered, thick with paint, alive with movement. Bands of pale line arc and twist across grounds of orange and ochre, lit up with bursts of pink, mauve and yellow. The effect is less a map of country than the feel of country, the rhythm of feet and song and skirts turning in the dust.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eRecognition came steadily. Australian Art Collector magazine named her one of Australia's 50 Most Collectable Artists three years running, in 2003, 2004 and 2005, and she was a repeated finalist in the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award through that decade before taking out the top prize in 2008. By then her work was being acquired by every major public collection in the country, and Utopia Art Sydney's director had described her as the Central Desert's finest painter since Emily Kngwarreye, with no living match for her painterly freedom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eTowards the end of her painting career Makinti's eyesight was failing, but it did not dampen her passion for painting.

It is old, spacious country of red sandhills, spinifex plains and rockholes that hold water long after the rain has gone, and she spent her early life moving through it on foot, living the way Pintupi families had lived there for thousands of years. Her first journey out of the desert came in 1962, travelling with a Northern Territory Welfare Branch patrol so her young son could be treated at Papunya. She returned to Kiwirrkurra that same year, and came back again the following year with her family group during the drought migration that brought many Pintupi people east. The family later settled at Walungurru, known as Kintore.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eShe was married to Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi, a founding painter of Papunya Tula and one of the great exponents of the men's Tingari style. Through the 1980s at Kintore, Ningura worked on his canvases, laying in the dense background dotting that carried his designs. In 1995 she joined the Kintore and Haasts Bluff women's painting project, then in its second year, and it was there that her own hand emerged. She formally joined Papunya Tula Artists in 1996 as part of the group of senior Kintore and Kiwirrkurra women whose arrival reshaped the company and, with it, the direction of Western Desert painting. Her first solo exhibition came in 2000 at William Mora Galleries in Melbourne, the same year her work appeared in Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. After her husband's death in 1998 her output grew, and so did her standing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eHer work is unmistakable. She built her canvases from heavy layers of acrylic, laid on with real physical weight, and organised them around strong sweeping linear designs. Long curved bands, concentric roundels and dense rows of dotting move across the surface with a rhythm that feels almost like breathing. Her palette shifts from soft pinks and corals to hot yellows, deep reds, ochres and stark black and white, and she used colour boldly, letting the ground push up through the layers above it so the surface reads with real depth. That layering has been compared to the way women apply paint to skin in ceremony. Where her husband painted men's Tingari, Ningura painted the lives, journeys and ceremonial law of women, and she is remembered as much for her authority as a keeper of that knowledge as for the paintings themselves. She also gave works to help establish and support the Western Desert dialysis service, and one of her designs travelled across remote communities on the side of its truck.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eDREAMINGS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWomen's Ceremony \u003c\/span\u003e- This is Awelye, the ceremonial life of Pintupi women.
