Japingka Gallery is kicking off its exciting and extensive 2012 Exhibition Programme with a look to the future along with a nod to the past. With the passing of many of the established, Elders and senior Artists, there has been much justified concern at the loss of so much Cultural knowledge and ancient “Dreaming” Stories. Whilst it is true that so much important information and stories have been irrevocably lost, there has been a concerted effort in recent times to ensure that this valuable knowledge is passed on to the next generations of Indigenous Artists.
These two remarkable and important Exhibitions document this “passing on of the Baton” to the next generations. HEIRS & SUCCESSORS documents this transition and transfer of talent and knowledge from the Elders to the next generations where paintings by famous and established senior Artists from the Central and Western Deserts such as Clifford Possum, the late great Jimmy Baker, Utopia great, Minnie Pwerle, Walangkura Napanangka, George Ward Tjungurrayi and many more hang alongside the exceptional work of the next generation.
For many Australians, their first expo...[ Read all ] |

Language of the Earth
Japingka Gallery presents the first Western Australian
solo exhibition by Sarrita King as well as an exhibition from the Canning Stock Route
Gallery1: Sarrita King: Language of the Earth (Part 1)
At the young age of just 23, Sarrita King has been painting for five years, inspired by her late father and artistic mentor, William King Jungala. She is already recognised as a new star. Drawing on the philosophies her father taught her, Sarrita has integrated personal influences, cultural heritage and universal concepts into her striking contemporary paintings.
Sarrita King has structured her exhibition around the groupings of four different series of works: Ancestors, Language of the Earth, Lightning/ Fire, and Water.
Sarrita says, “This exhibition is a celebration of the Land - my personal connection with the Land, and everything the Land connects me with. The work is anchored by the Ancestor pieces, as they embody the past, the present and the future.”
Sarrita King grew up in Darwin, where her connections to Aboriginal culture and the land were nurtured, and where the experience of extreme w...[ Read all ] |

Indigenous Art: A Promising View to the Future
In answer to the frequently asked question, “What will happen to Indigenous art with the passing of the great artistic elders?” Japingka Gallery has mounted two exhibitions which show a promising future through direct lines of artistic lineage.
The exhibition in Japingka’s Gallery1, Heirs and Successors, focuses on renowned elders from the central and western deserts along with their successors, while the exhibition in Gallery2, Namitjira Legacy, shows the strong artistic inheritance from the so-called ‘Hermannsburg School’ led by Australia’s famous Western Arrernte (Aranda) artist, Albert Namatjira.
Heirs and Successors follows the lineage through to the next generations of artists who are carrying on the stories of the significant painters from the canon of the Central Desert Indigenous art movement. The names are great. George Ward Tjungurrayi. Minnie Pwerle. Jimmy Baker. Walangkura Napanangka, Naata Nungarrayi, Ningura Napurrula, Ngoia Pollard.
While traditional stories and iconography are carried through onto the canvases of the next generation of painters...[ Read all ] |
