Papunya Tula | Through the Years


The ReDot Fine Art Gallery is always extremely proud to be able to welcome back the beautiful work(s) of Australia’s foremost Aboriginal art community, Papunya Tula Artists Pty Ltd. With the gallery now in its 20th year of operations, we looked back and reflected on our partnership with Papunya Tula and all the extraordinary exhibitions.

There have been 17 dedicated shows, some incredible solos thrown into the mix, with many works subsequently travelling to all four corners of the world and been exhibited in many museum shows in the process.

We marked the galleries 10th anniversary with a major show at ArtStage in Singapore, which opened the eyes of the Asian collector base to this movement and showcased works which now read like an almanac of Indigenous power and greatness.

This year we thought we would look back, and reflect, on these shows and many other events that included this colossal institution.
We have always been honoured to be Papunya Tula’s only official representative in Asia, not to mention one of literally only a handful globally.

So, Papunya Tula - Through the Years (1999-2017) showcases works from the last 20 years. Works in my collection, works never seen before and a sprinkling of other gems from our extensive stockroom. This show doesn’t exhaust our commitment to the community, search the website....

There are many many more...
Enjoy the selection, which is of the highest international standards, and be drawn into the link between land, spiritual being, and connectivity, teaching us of the ways of the oldest living culture on this planet.

The Papunya Tula Art Movement began in 1971 when a school teacher, Geoffrey Bardon, encouraged some of the men to paint a blank school wall.

The murals sparked off tremendous interest in the community and soon many men started painting.

In 1972 the artists successfully established their own company.
The company is entirely owned and directed by traditional Aboriginal people from the Western Desert, predominantly of the Luritja/Pintupi language groups.

It has 49 shareholders and now represents around 120 artists.

The company derives its name from Papunya, a settlement 240km north-west of Alice Springs.

Papunya settlement was established as an administrative centre by the government for the Aboriginal people who had moved in from the desert. Since then many Pintupi and Luritja people have moved back to their homelands and continue their strong ceremonial ties to the land.

Following the homelands movement of the 1980s, the company constructed studios in the newly established communities of Kintore and Kiwirrkura, extending operations into Western Australia as far as 700km west of Alice Springs.

The Papunya Tula painting style derives directly from the artists’ knowledge of traditional body and sand painting associated with ceremony. Portraying these ancestral creation stories for the public has required the removal of sacred symbols and the careful monitoring of ancestral designs.

The work of the Papunya Tula artists is highly regarded around the world. The unmistakable and powerful style of the work has resulted in the Papunya Tula artists being represented in most public galleries, major museums, institutions and many large private collections within Australia as well as overseas.

The aim of the company is to promote individual artists, provide economic development for the communities to which they belong, and assist in the maintenance of a rich cultural heritage.

“The name 'Papunya Tula' was born at a gathering with some painters at Charley Creek in Alice Springs in June 1972. I recall saying that morning, "What do you want to call the company?". With me were two Pintupi men, Charlie Tarawa (Tjaruru) and Mick Namerari Tjapaltjarri, and one Anmatjira Aranda, Tim Leura.

Charlie Tarawa (Tjaruru) blurted out, as if he'd known all his life, "Papunya Tula"... Then I asked, "Does that keep all the mobs happy?". Everyone said, "Yes, yes, yes," that it did very much; and that morning Papunya Tula became a living idea, and everyone was very happy.”

We started it, like a bushfire, this painting business, and it went every way: north, east, south, west,
Papunya in the middle.

The ReDot Fine Art Gallery is always extremely proud to be able to welcome back the beautiful work(s) of Australia’s foremost Aboriginal art community, Papunya Tula Artists Pty Ltd.  With the gallery now in its 20th year of operations, we looked back and reflected on our partnership with Papunya Tula and all the extraordinary exhibitions.

There have been 17 dedicated shows, some incredible solos thrown into the mix, with many works subsequently travelling to all four corners of the world and been exhibited in many museum shows in the process.

We marked the galleries 10th anniversary with a major show at ArtStage in Singapore, which opened the eyes of the Asian collector base to this movement and showcased works which now read like an almanac of Indigenous power and greatness.

This year we thought we would look back, and reflect, on these shows and many other events that included this colossal institution.

We have always been honoured to be Papunya Tula’s only official representative in Asia, not to mention one of literally only a handful globally.

So, Papunya Tula - Through the Years (1999-2017) showcases works from the last 20 years.  Works in my collection, works never seen before and a sprinkling of other gems from our extensive stockroom.  This show doesn’t exhaust our commitment to the community, search the website....  

There are many many more...

Enjoy the selection, which is of the highest international standards, and be drawn into the link between land, spiritual being, and connectivity, teaching us of the ways of the oldest living culture on this planet.
