Papunya Tula Artists

Aubrey Tjangala

Aubrey Tjangala was born in 1974 at Yayi Yayi, a Pintupi outstation 30km west of Papunya. Yayi Yayi was a temporary settlement established by Pintupi people as they began their migration back into the Western Desert during the homelands movement of the 1970s. After returning to his home Country, Aubrey lived at his father’s outstation, Ininti, before settling in Kintore where he resides today. Aubrey is the son of the famous artist Ronnie Tjampitjinpa, whose works appear in the collections of major institutions around the world. Ronnie was a pioneering artist in the Western Desert art movement, as well as an important political figure in the land rights movement. Aubrey paints in the tradition of his father, having studied under the master over the course of his life.
A traditional owner for the Country surrounding Kintore, Aubrey paints the Dreaming stories of the area including Minma Kutjarra Tjukurrpa (Two Travelling Women), Ngintaka Tjukurrpa (Perentie) and the Waru Tjukurrpa (Fire) at Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay).

This will be Aubrey’s first solo exhibition.

The exhibition runs from 8 - 29 October
