The Artist
Timmy Payungka was among the youngest of the core group of aboriginal artists who began painting at Papunya in 1971, and is one of the last to pass away. ... There is no doubt he is a master of desert art and has lived through and contributed vitally to an era which will remain singularly consequential in Australia’s Aboriginal art history. ...
His work was exhibited in the prestigious “Dreamings, The Art of Aboriginal Australia”, shown in New York in 1988. Collectors around the world prize his canvasses and he is also one of the most exhibited of all Australian Aboriginal painters. ...
Apparently, this painting does not use traditional aboriginal symbols (serpents, sticks, tortoises etc. ... Which of course means an aboriginal eye. Thus following the waving horizontal lines one could place or locate him/herself on an old and sacred aboriginal track. ...
Personal Impressions
Personally I don’t have sufficient knowledge and exposure towards authentic aboriginal artwork in order to fully appreciate the whole meaning of this painting.
