"\nNew paintings by Debra Nakamarra and Katherine Nakamarra featuring the rockhole and cave site of Tjintjintjin  - an important site in the journeys of the ancestral creation figure, Kutungka Napanangka. \n \nThis oustanding body of work marks the first exhibition on the Mornington Peninsula by the illustrious Papunya Tula Artists Pty Ltd. Established by the founding male artists of the community of Papunya in 1972, Papunya Tula has been of foundational significance in the development of modern Australian art. Ever evolving, the art  of Papunya Tula Artists always inspires, as their work  continues to achieve record breaking prices internationally.  \n \nDebra and Katherine's mother, Walangkura Napanangka was one of the first women painters to join the men's painting movement, having participated in the historic Minyma Tjukurrpa (women’s lore) Canvas Project at Kintore/Haasts Bluff in 1994. Walangkura Napanangka subsequently became one of Papunya Tula's most acclaimed artists. \nDebra, 60 and Katherine, 56  inherited the rights to depict their mother's stories of the ancestral figure Katungka. They also inherited the rights to the stories of the far western desert held by their late father, the well known, longtime Papunya painter Johnny Yungut Tjupurrula. \n Debra and Katherine Nakamarra have been significant and highly regarded members of Papunya Tula Artists for many  years. In vibrant colour, rhythmic design and distinct iconography, this new body of  work relates the ancestral creation figure Katungka and her journeys across vast tracts of the Western Desert and especially the rock hole and cave site Tjintjintjin.\n \nOPENING EVENT WITH THE ARTISTS, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 2pm. \nTo be  opened  by John Kean PhD - writer, curator and former Papunya Tula art advisor.
