Dorothy
Napangardi is a Walpiri woman from Mina Mina, a highly significant sacred site
in one of the most remote areas of Australia; the Tanami Desert, north west of
Alice Springs, Northern Territory.
Regarded as one of the leading artists
of the contemporary Aboriginal Art movement, Dorothy paints her land, minimising
all references to traditional iconography from her familial lines. Creating her
own innovative language to describe her homelands, Dorothy's paintings are created
by an intricate network of lines that collide and implode on top of each other
creating a play of tension and expansion, transporting the viewer through a myriad
of intersections. Her view is constantly changing: one painting giving an aerial
perspective; the next as if she has placed a microscope to the ground.
Dorothy,
working from her own studio at Gallery Gondwana, has been painting since 1987.
She has established her reputation as an eminent experimental artist, with her
distinctive style of painting winning her acclaim.
