JESSIE BIRD NANGALA (NGALE)
TITLE: UNTITLED
ACRYLIC ON CANVAS
88CM X 71CM
JESSIE HAS SIGNED THE PAINTING ON THE BACK
REF#JBN389
Born: late 70s – Early 80s – (Mulga Bore Outstation) Utopia, Northern Territory
Jessie is the eldest daughter of the renowned artist Lindsay Bird Mpetyane and Mavis Bird Petyarre . Lindsay, a Senior Elder/Custodian of Major Stories and overseer of their Country (Alhalkere), has instilled in Jessie a deep connection to their cultural heritage.
She has two younger sisters, Rosie and Karen who are also accomplished artists.
From a young age, Jessie and her sisters were encouraged to paint and were given permission to paint various dreaming’s.
In her initial artworks, Jessie captured the essence of her homeland, showcasing the bush foods traditionally harvested by women. She also delved into narratives surrounding Women's Business, which encompassed ceremonies and intricate body paint designs.
Jessie employed a blend of iconography, dot artistry, and other traditional painting techniques, skillfully infused with vibrant contemporary hues, culminating in her distinctive, one-of-a-kind style, in her early artworks. Her more current creations continue to radiate a spectrum of colours that hold a special place in Jessie's heart, interwoven with exquisite designs that beautifully convey her narratives.
This painting illustrates the gathering of bush foods by women, as evident in the imagery. However, we've chosen to leave this artwork untitled since we cannot recall the specific details that Jessie shared with us about it.
This artwork is an aerial depiction and therefore can be hung horizontally or vertically.
This painting was purchased directly from Jessie and a gallery certificate of authenticity will be provided with the sale.
