​ALTEALTH ALPEYT  -  WILDFLOWERS

​ARTISTS OF AMPILAWATJA

May - July 2024
​

The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was formed in 1999. This group is known for their finely detailed work that is often bright in hue, and provides a figurative depiction of their country, rich in plant biodiversity. These artists mostly paint ‘Arreth’ which means ‘strong bush medicine’. Their deep connection to Country is shown in their homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine, allowing some insight into how the land has provided for and sustained Alyawarr people for generations.

​   
Warlukurlangu Artists is a prolific and successful Aboriginal-owned art centre in Central Australia and has work in collections across Australia and internationally. The principle aim of the art centre is to share Warlpiri culture and to increase awareness about Aboriginal culture in general. Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Association is the guardian of the Jukurrpa, the law and culture of the Warlpiri and Anmatyerre people living at Yuendumu.  
​

These acrylic paintings, as a collection, are a powerful tool of contemporary artistic expression, demonstrating diverse and collaborative methodology, and the artist’s ability to capture the vitality of Jukurrpa and its essential, vital integration with country. The artists’ Jukurrpa stories are vast in time and space, yet simultaneously acute, personal and immediate.
