The Men Artists of the Hermannsburg School of Art

Exhibition opens Friday October 10 at 6.30pm at Talapi Gallery, Todd Mall, Alice Spring.

NEW watercolour paintings inspired by recent bush trips to Haast Bluff and the East MacDonnell Ranges. Artists participating: Peter Tjutjatja Taylor, Rienhold Inkamala, Hilary Wirri, Kevin Namatjira, Hubert Pareroultja, Douglas Kwarlpe Abbott and Mervyn Rubuntja. The Exhibition runs from October 10 to October 31. Don’t miss out!

This unique mural was designed by well-known artist Peter Taylor, and painted in collaboration with another six landscape artists including Gloria Pannka, Mervyn Rubuntja, Lenie Namatjira, Kevin Namatjira, Gwenda Namatjira and Reinhold Inkamala, with support of Ngurratjuta/Iltja Ntjarra Many Hands art centre and the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education. The mural is 7m long by 2m high and represents the range east of Heavitree Gap (Ntaripe) with the dry Todd River (Lhere Mparntwe) meandering through it.

We are proud to announce that the Alice Springs based Ngurratjuta Iltja Ntjarra, Many Hands Art Centre Collaborative was highly commended during the Telstra Art Awards, with their collage work: Knara Nunaka Tjurretja – Our big country: the West Mac Donnell Ranges.

The Ngurratjuta Artists are showcasing some new work on the walls of Alice Plaza!

In partnership with Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education and Alice Plaza, the wall of the lift shaft in the centre will be transformed into The Gap by Peter Taylor. The initial design was created through workshops held at Batchelor with teacher Brigida Stewart.

Painting on the mural will happen Mondays through to Thursdays for the next three weeks. Check out some of the action that started this morning.

Ngurratjuta is excited to announce that Alcaston Gallery will be showcasing the work of Douglas Abbott next month.
