Recent Paintings from Ernabella Arts at the Chapman Gallery

5 March- 25 March 2010
Opening Friday 5 March at 5.30pm

Ernabella Arts celebrated 60 years of operation last year, an inspiring and wonderful achievement. Chapman Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of new paintings from Ernabella featuring works by esteemed elders Dickie Minyintiri and Nura Rupert. Minyintiri is old enough to remember his first contact with white men and is an invaluable and treasured elder; he is also one of the senior law man for the entirety of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara area and this knowledge informs his paintings and makes him a highly significant artist. Nura Rupert's childlike paintings of spooky Mamu spirits and whimsical camp dogs and donkeys have earned her a place in many important national collections including the National Gallery of Australia, The National Museum of Australia and the Art Gallery of South Australia.
