Nganana paitamilani tjitji tjuta-ku munu Anangu tjuta-ku
Fregon is a small town with a big heart. The rhythm of that heart is undeniably the art centre. Kaltjiti Arts was established in 1961 and in recent years has become a powerhouse in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. Artists such as Witjiti George, Matjangka (Nyukana) Norris and Taylor Cooper are now well established in the Indigenous art market. This exhibition will present a selection of outstanding works with a special focus on Tjangili George, whose depictions of desert wildflowers are exquisite.
Born in Pukatja (Ernabella) in 1950, Tjangili identifies strongly with the country west of Kaltjiti,
her mother’s country that stretches from Irrunytju (Wingellina) south to Watarru. At Pukatja, Tjangili went to school and worked in the craft room, met and married Witjiti George and finally moved to Kaltjiti in the ‘60’s. Tjangili has always worked with Kaltjiti Arts and is a skilled artist in abstract designs from her natural environment. She paints the desert wildflowers, which were abundant in the past; prior to the destructive droughts, buffel grass, camels and donkeys.
Tjangili has a gentle and calm nature which is evident in her paintings. Most days she will be found working quietly alongside her husband to produce these breathtakingly beautiful works of art.
The exhibition runs from 6 - 29 August
