Current Exhibition

Watiyawanu Artists - Gallery 1 Oct 16, 2009 - Nov 18, 2009 In conjunction with Watiyawanu Artists of Amunturrngu, Japingka Gallery is pleased to present new works from the artists of Mt Liebig community. The community is located 85 kms east of Papunya, the first home of the Desert Art movement in 1971. There have always been strong family links between artists groups at Mt Liebig, Pupunya, Kintore and Kiwirrkura, which can be seen in aspects of style and approach of these Central Desert artists.

Biddee Baadjo - Gallery 2 Oct 16, 2009 - Nov 18, 2009 This is Biddee Baadjo's first solo exhibition, showing recent works painted at Wangkatjungka Community during 2009. The works are luminous and evocative, recreating the sandhill country of the artist's ancestral country adjacent to the Canning Stock Route in Western Australia's Great Sandy Desert. Biddee Baadjo began painting in 1994, developing a strong stylistic approach that is distinctive amongst painters from her community.
