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. In the early 1980s, Bambatu also began painting at Papunya Tula.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; text-align: center;\" align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eBambatu was Dinni's apprentice for many years, absorbing his skills, techniques and deep knowledge of Country. Sadly, Dinni passed away in Alice Springs in 2000.

Her paintings tell the stories of her female ancestors as they travelled ceremonially across Country, moving between the waterholes of Wirrulunga in Central Australia through to the Kintore, Mount Leibig and Papunya regions. At each sacred site along the way, the women would stop, dance and sing — and it is these journeys, these places and these ceremonies that Bambatu has dedicated her artistic life to recording.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; text-align: center;\" align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;\"\u003eEach element in her paintings carries meaning. The concentric circles represent the waterholes and rockhole sites of her Country, particularly the rockhole sites west of Kiwirrkura that appear throughout her work. The parallel dotted lines trace the paths the ceremonial women travelled. The sand hills (Tali) of her homeland, the striking geometric dotted lines that create an almost maze-like effect across her canvases are another constant presence, as are the Water Dreaming stories that connect the women's journeys to the life-giving water sources of the Western Desert.

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. Her subject was almost always the bush plum through its seasons, flower to green fruit to ripe fruit, the whole cycle of a plant that feeds and sustains her country.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eDREAMINGS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eBush Plum (Anwekety)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e - The conkerberry is a small hardy shrub of the desert that flowers after rain and carries dark sweet fruit the women gather and eat fresh or dry for later.

Fluent in Warlpiri and English, he worked widely as an interpreter and translator, was an ordained pastor, and was called on often as a mentor and mediator.

He chose to paint independently of the community art centre, dealing directly with a small number of private galleries and dealers. His painting stayed close to the traditional way of working, built on classical Warlpiri iconography and the earthen colours of the desert, the ochres, reds, whites and blacks that come out of the country itself. Like many desert painters he worked from an overhead perspective, so a canvas opens out across country rather than looking into a horizon, and the sites and the tracks running between them sit in their true relationship to one another.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\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 align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHoney Ant\u003c\/span\u003e- Yurrampi, the honey ant, is one of the great ancestral stories of the Central Desert and one of the oldest food sources of the Warlpiri. The ants nest deep beneath the roots of mulga, and the workers hold nectar in swollen golden abdomens that make them living stores of sweetness. Digging for them is patient, careful work, done with crowbars and digging sticks in places where families have always known to look.

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.

The shift was not embraced at first, and for a period he was encouraged back toward conventional dot infill. From the early 2000s he returned with conviction to the abstract, loading his brush and laying down bold and softly blended blocks of colour to map the land and sky through their changing moods and seasons.

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.

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.

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.

His instinct, though, was for something looser and more gestural, and he gradually moved toward broad fields of colour he called My Country. The shift was not embraced at first, and for a period he was encouraged back toward conventional dot infill. From the early 2000s he returned with conviction to the abstract, loading his brush and laying down bold and softly blended blocks of colour to map the land and sky through their changing moods and seasons.

After rain it puts out small white flowers with a strong scent, and the fruit follows. It comes on for only a few weeks in the year, ripening from green through to a sweet black berry about the size of a small plum, which is where the English name comes from. Women gather it hard in that short window, and what is not eaten fresh is dried, stored, then soaked in water again later to bring it back. The plant works as medicine as well, the orange inner bark of the roots soaked and used as a wash, particularly for skin and for sore eyes. The Dreaming for it is a story about wind. Winds blew in from every direction and carried the Anwekety seed out across the country of Polly's ancestors. The first plant grew, fruited and dropped seed of its own, and the wind carried those on again, until the conkerberry grew right through the Dreaming lands.

His instinct, though, was for something looser and more gestural, and he gradually moved toward broad fields of colour he called My Country. The shift was not embraced at first, and for a period he was encouraged back toward conventional dot infill. From the early 2000s he returned with conviction to the abstract, loading his brush and laying down bold and softly blended blocks of colour to map the land and sky through their changing moods and seasons.

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.

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.

The bush yam in particular has grown harder to find since the introduction of livestock and other changes to the land, lending these paintings extra weight as a record of something increasingly scarce. Alongside these, Jeannie painted Awelye the ceremonial body paint designs of the women's ceremonies as well as her own Country, Alhalkere in the Boundary Bore region of Utopia, and the Mountain Devil Lizard (Arnkerrthe) Dreaming shared across the Petyarre sisters, each bringing her own interpretation to the same ancestral story.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeannie took up batik in the early 1980s, working alongside the other Utopia women before moving into acrylic on canvas later that decade.
