Walala Tjapaltjarri

In late 1984, Walala Tjapaltjarri and several other members of the Pintupi tribe walked out of the remote wilderness of the Gibson Desert in Western Australia and made contact for the first time with European society.  Described as 'The Lost Tribe', he and his family created international headlines.  Walala and his family had been living the traditional and nomadic life of a hunter-gatherer society.  Their intimate knowledge of the land, its flora and fauna and waterholes allowed them to survive, as their ancestors had for thousands of years.  It is this sacred landscape with its significant sites that Walala so strikingly describes in his paintings.  His style is strongly gestural and boldly graphic, one that is generally highlighted by a series of rectangles set against a monochrome back ground.
