Martumili Artists

3 Young Fellas

Corban Clause Williams, Cyril Whyoulter and Derrick Butt. Three young artists, three proud Martu men. They are teachers of their culture and painters of their country. Together, they symbolise a proud new generation of Martumili Artists celebrating cultural knowledge and cultural identity. This exhibition showcases the works of the 3 Young Fellas together for the first time.

'I’m a Martumili artist. I came to Martumili to paint about my Country, where my grandfather walked around and collected food, and visited the same rockholes I do. I paint to keep my culture and stories and share with others. Sometimes I paint with my nanna Jakayu [Biljabu]. I learn from her a little bit. My skin name is Milangka and Kaalpa (Kalypa, Canning Stock Route Well 23) is my grandfather's Country. I was really happy to go see my grandfather’s Country- pukurlpa (happy). When I paint I feel like it's home. Doing it on the canvas, I feel like I’m standing there back at home.' - Corban Clause Williams

'My mum’s father came from Kirriwirri in the North. I can paint that way too. I like painting, it’s a good way to learn from old people,eep the stories going. Yunkurra (Billy Atkins), my nyamu (grandfather), he’s guiding me about what I can paint and share. My closest family is the Taylor mob; uncle Muuki, Wokka, and Ngalangka (Nola). They help me too.' - Cyril Whyoulter

'I asked the brother to my grandmother, and I was asking them where my grandmother was born and which Country, so I could paint it. And they told me some stories and I started painting, because my grandmother left her country when she was young and didn’t manage to get back to her Country. So I wanted to paint like part of her history, as her grandson, to tell people where my grandmother’s born, and which Country.' - Derrick Butt

The exhibition runs from 25 June - 16 July
