Now coming to a close at Japingka Gallery is the powerful exhibition of paintings created at Wangkatjungka community in 2007. The exhibition featured a number of significant collaborative works focusing on the artists' ancestral land holdings in country adjacent to the Canning Stock Route. These large works were created by groups of up to 11 artists, each of whom painted the country where they and their parents had lived, and where generations had hunted for thousands of years. The exhibition became a tribute to artist Janie Lee who passed away six weeks before the opening.

The second exhibition of paintings by the grandchildren of Paddy Bedford and Jack Dale is about to open at Japingka Gallery. These works are certain to draw widespread attention. As we unpacked, we were surprised to see the large size of some of the canvases. The work highlights both the fun and the seriousness of the subjects and the artistic treatment displays a joyful spontaneity and freedom.

The desert works of Eileen Napaltjarri are a visual remedy for the onset of winter. With her shimmering bands of colour and mesmerising lines of sandhills, Eileen re creates Tjiturrulpa rock hole country west of Kintore, the traditional country of her father. These works make a powerful visual impact, and will go on show from 20th June.

Nyuju Stumpy Brown has been one of the key painters of the Fitzroy region over the past 20 years. Impaired by a stroke, Stumpy has painted very little in the past two years. This exhibition of works from prior to 2006 is a tribute to the compelling vision that the artist maintains of her ceremonial grounds at Ngupawarlu in the Great Sandy Desert.
