Dorothy Napangardi Dorothy Napangardi is a Walpiri woman from Minna Minna, a highly significant sacred site in one of the most remote areas of Australia, the Tanami Desert. Regarded as one of the leading artists of the contemporary Aboriginal Art movement, she paints her father's homeland at Lake McKay. Dorothy's paintings are shaped by an interlacing network of dotted lines. These lines form both a micro and a macro study of the land; creating the homeland topography while telling a story of the ancestral tracks. These lines represent the salt encrustations around the dry claypans etched with the tracks of the women. Dorothy Napangardi won first prize in the 18th Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards in 2001. Her work is represented in numerous collections in Australia and overseas. For sale is a large - 139 x 98 cms - acrylic on Italian linen by Dorothy Napangardi entitled Minna Minna. Painted in 2007, it is accompanied by a COA and photos of the artist holding the completed painting. The sale price is $6,000. |
