BIOGRAPHY
RETURN TOP
Lily Kelly Napangardi is a distinguished
Aboriginal
artist born
around 1948
n the
Haasts Bluff region of the
Northern Territory of
Australia.
Lily Kelly Napangardi top-quality ‘Sand Hills' paintings have
the sheer physical presence of the much contemporary work of
art.
The
finesse of Lily's style creates a wonderful lyricism in her
work and
the muted tones show a mysterious topography of the land and
rain.
Lily uses a technique of tiny
microcosmic dots
and dashes, intricate subtle details that move with the
viewer’s eyes.
Her 'Sand-hill' paintings are usually white dots on black
background, but some rarer examples of her work are
painted black dots on white background,
presenting an almost three-dimensional illusion of space and
depth.
In earlier years, Napangardi lived with her
family at the settlement of
Papunya, later moved to Watiyawanu (Mount
Liebig - 325 km west of
Alice Springs) (with her husband
Norman Kelly, also an artist). Napangardi
is a respected senior law woman of her community of Watiyawanu, and the
custodian over the Women's
Dreamtime stories associated with
Kunajarrayi.
Lily Kelly Napangardi began painting in the early
1980s. She won the Northern Territory Art Award for Excellence in Aboriginal
Painting in 1986 and was a finalist in the Telstra National Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Art Award (NATSIAA) in 2003. In January 2006, she was
named as one of Australia’s 50 most collectable artists by Australian Art
Collector magazine.
Napangardi's
paintings are of her country, especially of the sand hills (Tali) around
Mount Liebig. They are usually done in
white (sometimes, red or yellow) dots on black background, presenting an almost
three-dimensional illusion of space and depth. Some rarer examples of her work
are painted in two colours (mainly white and red) on black background. Today
Lily Kelly Napangardi's art is recognised as some of the most innovative in the
contemporary Aboriginal art scene. It is highly sought-after by museums and
private collectors worldwide.

Lily Kelly Napangardi
is one of the most important Australian artists.
In 1986 Lily won the Northern Territory Art Award for
Excellence in Aboriginal Painting, in 2003 was a finalist in
the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Art Award and in 2006 was named one of the Australia’s top
50 most collectible artists.
Lily Kelly Napangardi work has the physical presence of the
much contemporary work of art.
The
finesse of Lily's style creates a wonderful lyricism in her
work,
the muted tones show a mysterious topography of the land and
rain.
Lily
uses a time consuming technique of tiny dots
and dashes,
and the intricate subtle details that move with the viewer’s
eyes and give the multi-dimensional appearance.
Born
circa 1948 in the Haast Bluff region of the
Northern Territory (325 kilometers north-west of Alice Springs) Lily Kelly Napangardi lived at the newly established settlement of Papunya for much of her early life, relocating to Mt Liebig with her
husband in the early 1980's.
Lily Kelly Napangardi is from
Mount Liebig, a senior law woman of the Watiyawanu community, Haasts Bluff.
Lily moved
to Papunya in the 1960's, and was later noted
for the assistance she gave to her husband, the
painter Norman Kelly. She began painting in the
1980's.
Lily Kelly
Napangardi
holds authority
over the "Women Dreaming " story associated with Kunajarrayi.
Throughout this time Lily assisted her
husband Norman Kelly with his paintings, becoming an artist in her own
right in 1986 when she began painting for Papunya Tula artists.
Lily
depicts stories from the Haasts Bluff and Kunajarrayi region, her
traditional country, for the Watyawanu Art Centre. Lily portrays commanding
innovative interpretations of her traditional country and holds
authority over the Women's Dreaming story associated with Kunajarrayi, and is
also teaching younger women traditional dancing and
singing. . Her most recent
works are skillful representations of sand hills in their various forms.
Lily's works are in high demand and are represented in major private
and public collections throughout the world.
Her subjects include her country's sand hills, its winds and the
desert environment after rain, especially the sandhills of the Kintore
and Connistan areas. Her paintings often note the seasonal changes in
this sandy landscape, and the crucial waterholes found in the rocks in
the area. In this mysterious and elemental landscape, the features, such
as rock holes and even mountain ranges, seem to appear and disappear
with the changing winds and blowing sands. Water marks this land, as the
run-off from the rains makes a pattern of lines and striations down the
surface of the sand hills. Napangardi notes the finest microcosmic
details but embeds these into a macrocosmic view of the landscape. The
ephemeral nature of this drifting, changing country is Lily Kelly
Napangardi's key subject, and the viewer, walking in front of her
painting, can sense something of the immersive experience of her
country.
