Biographics


Birthdate: 1934 - 2003
Language Group: Kukatja/Wangkajunga
 
Lucy Yukenbarri Napanangka is married to the artist Helicopter Tjungurrayi and lives at Wirrimanu (Balgo). She is an important member of the community because she is custodian for several tjukurrpa which are connected to local water and food sources. She began painting with acrylic on linen at the end of the 80´s and has developed her own symbology of form and colour: glowing hues applied with strong texture over wide areas of the painting. The areas refer to different parts of her country. Her works are exhibited internationally and are found in the collections of major Australian art museums.

  (C) 2000 www.aboriginal-art.de Aboriginal Art Galerie Bähr; Lucy Yukenbarri Napanangka, Australien; Winyililpa (No. 210) (Sold)
Winyililpa, 2000
Acrylic on linen, 180 x 119,5 cm

Lucy Yukenbarri has painted some of her grandfather´s country, which is located far to the south of Balgo in The Great Sandy Desert, near present-day Jupiter Well. In the centre of the painting is Winyililpa, a rockhole found in a small cave. The Tjukurrpa story for the area tells of an ancestral man of the Tjangala skin group who was walking through the area hunting. This Tjangala found the cave, inside which were some baby dingos. A ´featherfoot´ snuck up behind the Tjangala and killed him in that cave. Surrounding Winyililpa, and dominating the painting, are the talis, or sand dunes of the area.
