Ningura Napurrula (1938-2013)  Masterworks for Sale


 About-Us | Artists | Contact-us | Payment & Delivery | Testimonials

Australia's National pride, Ningura Napurrula (1938–2013) was a leading figure in the Western Desert art movement. She is a globally recognized artist, and a powerhouse of the Papunya Tula movement. Ningura Napurrula's monumental painting that features on the ceiling at Musée du quai Branly in Paris, a pinnacle of Europe’s public collections, invites a compelling comparison to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel through its command of architectural scale and mastery, standing as a permanent cultural legacy for future generations. Her international acclaim was built on innovative use of vibrant colour palette. This evolution allowed Ningura to translate deeply emotive ancestral stories into a modern visual language that resonates powerfully within the Contemporary Global Art market.

Legacy: Musée du quai Branly Paris, Queensland National Art Gallery, National Gallery of Victoria, National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of NSW, Art Gallery of Western Australia, The Palace of Japan Tokyo, Harold Mitchell Foundation.



A proud member since 2000, Galeria Aniela supports the Aboriginal Art Association of Australia (AAAA) and the 60,000-year-old culture that gave the world the most exciting contemporary art.

The Life, Career, and Legacy of Ningura Napurrula (1938–2013)

Ningura Napurrula signature work in black and white artwork is superimposed on the ceiling of Musée du quai BranlyAustralia's National pride, Ningura Napurrula is one of the most important Australian artists of the 21st century.

Ningura Napurrula 1938 - 2013
Region:                 Western Desert
Community:           Kintore
Outstation:            Lake McKay
Language:             Pintupi
Local group:         
Pintupi, Western Desert region 

 

Ningura Napurrula was born around 1938 at Watulka in Western Australia, south of the modern Kiwirrkura community. She moved to Papunya in the early days of the settlement with her husband Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi, a highly respected Pintupi elder who held significant knowledge of his countries Dreaming stories.

Ningura's husband Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi (1928-1998) became one of the founders of Papunya Tula Artists in the early 1970s, and one of the exponents of the classic Tingari painting style that dominated Pintupi men’s painting until the early 1990s. He was a well-known artist represented in National Gallery of Victoria. He was one of the founders of Papunya Tula Artists in the early 1970s, and one of the exponents of the classic Tingari painting style that dominated Pintupi men’s painting until the early 1990s.

Napurrula bold, intricate line-work and dense monochrome infilling – as seen in Untitled (Wirrulnga), 2000 – are reminiscent of Tjungurrayi’s earliest works. Wirrulnga is an important women’s rockhole site east of Kiwirrkura.

Napurrula’s work is strongly charged with the seriousness of women’s business, echoed in the distinctive paintings of fellow Papunya Tula Artists, Makinti Napanangka and Inyuwa Nampitjinpa. Napurrula and Tjungurrayi’s sons, Morris Gibson Tjapaltjarri (Mawitji) and Adam Gibbs Tjapaltjarri, carry on their mother’s and father’s work in their own paintings.

Vivien Johnson in 'Tradition today: Indigenous art in Australia’, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, 2014

Ningura was part of the original group of the higher-ranking women from “Kintore” and “Kiwirrkura” who began painting for the famous Papunya Tula Artists which founded the Aboriginal Art Movement. The Papunya Tula Aboriginal Art Movement began in 1971 when Geoffrey Bardon a white school teacher encouraged few higher-ranking Aboriginal people, who held vitally important tribal positions and were instrumental in the instruction of young Aboriginals, to paint their Dreamings. Without European philosophy of perspective, using the aboriginal colors and traditional iconography, the artists depict the “Dreamings” and their relationship with the land. This was an experiment which had staggering results and the Aboriginal Art Movement has began.


Ningura Napurrula was one of the eight great Australian artists whose work is featured in the collection of the Europe’s most important public museum Musée du quai Branly in Paris and the most significant public collections throughout the world.

The Harold Mitchell Foundation and the Australia Council showcasing in the permanent collection of the Europe most important public museum, Musee Quai Branly, Paris works of eight great Australian artists:
