ARTIST BIO

Ningura Napurrula (1938 – 2013) is part of a group of elderly women from Kintore and Kiwirrkura who began painting for the famous Papunya Tula Artists.

Ningura’s signature dreaming in which she depicts is that of ‘Women’s Ceremony’, which tells of the sacred ceremonies only conducted and witnessed by Pintupi women.

Ningura is one of the most important Indigenous artists and one of Australia’s most collectable artists (Australian Art Collector no. 37). Ningura’s art is displayed in art galleries in Australia and around the world. Ningura Napurrula’s signature work is superimposed eternally on the ceiling of the Paris museum’s building “”Musée du quai Branly”” for future generations to appreciation.

Ningura’s use of bold lines and contrasting colours make her works, particular that of ‘Women’s Ceremony’, both enticing and eye-capturing.
