Artist / CLARISE NAMPIJINPA POULSON


We don't currently have any works available by CLARISE NAMPIJINPA POULSON

Clarise Nampijinpa Poulson was born in Yuendumu, in Australia’s Northern Territory, in 1957. She first painted for Warlukurlangu artists in 1988, when her work was first exhibited. She quickly distinguished herself as an outstanding artist, daring in her use of intense colour and detailed, hard - edged designs with optical gyrations. Nampijinpa is a meticulous painter, able to vary size of dots and design elements to that each composition is individual. Clarise participated in many important surveys of Aboriginal art, notable Mythscapes: Aboriginal Art of the Desert, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 1989, Balance 1990, Views Visions and Influences, Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane 1990, L'ete Australien Montpellier, Musee Favre, France 1990 and the Aboriginal Women's Exhibition, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, 1991. Nampijinpa was awarded a Creative Arts Fellowship in 1993 and held her first solo exhibition at Sutton Gallery, Melbourne in May 1994. Her brother in law Neville Japangardi Poulson is also a painter at Warlukurlangu Artists.
