A fine example of George Ward's famous Tiingari Dreaming series Painted in 2008 Very large at 201 cms by 121 cms Acrylic on Belgian linen The contrast of colour and dot work show why George Ward is considered on of the best Comes with 23 work in progress photos Size 201 cms by 121 cms 81 inches by 47 inches About George Ward Tjungurrayi (Born 1945) George Ward Tjungurrayi is represented in major national collections including the National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of NSW, Supreme Court of Northern Territory, and in Musée des Arts d’Afrique et d’Océanie, Paris, and Groninger Museum, Netherlands. Anita Angel, art curator at Charles Darwin University, says of George Ward’s artwork, “It’s instantly recognisable, he has a style, but it’s more than just a style. He’s coming from somewhere deep within his mind’s eye to draw out what he does. He’s not experimenting, he knows exactly what he’s doing.” In George Ward’s larger paintings such as this one, he regularly creates the Tingari or Dreaming stories from his ancestral country located to the west of Kintore and adjacent to Lake MacDonald in outback Australia. These stories relate the epic travels of the Creation Ancestors who brought the land and all its life forms into being as they passed across the country. George Ward Tjungurrayi had lived close to his land all his early life before his family made contact with the white settlers, and they finally visited relatives who had joined the settlement of Papunya on the edge of the desert country. NGV curator Judith Ryan comments further on George Ward’s painting- “It’s refined and refined over many layers, and that gives it a reverberative shimmer, a final precision of detail. Art of this kind has immense potency. It’s not difficult at all for today’s collectors to have a passion for it, because it’s minimal. It’s towards the minimal edge in terms of design, and in its lack of figuration and restricted palette.”

Born around 1945 and from the Kiwirrkurra region (Gibson Desert, Western Australia), George Ward Tjungurrayi is one of the emblematic figures of contemporary Pintupi painting. He lived for a long time in Papunya, the origin of the contemporary Aboriginal art movement in the 1970s, when he began painting in 1976.
Georges Ward's paintings attest to the attachment of Kintore artists to their ancestral territories and have him recognized as the worthy heir of his brother Yala Yala Gibbs (one of the founding members of the Papunya artistic movement and senior guardian of sacred ceremonies Pintupi). Georges thus has significant rights to many sites around Wala Wala, Kiwirrkura, Lake Mackay, Kulkuta, Karku, Ngaluwinyamana and Kilpinya. George describes in his canvases the Tingari Cycles associated with his territory and celebrates the memory of the mythical "Tingari Men", founding ancestors of the Time of Creation who traveled the region, in order to establish sacred sites and institute ceremonial rites. practiced today by the Aborigines.
This artist has developed a unique style renowned for his minimalist approach: a system of geometric lines which form "imprints" reminiscent of the footsteps of ancestors and which create a rhythm of shapes and a rich and shimmering surface. His paintings bear witness to the advent of the Pintupi style, referred to as "cerebral" art. Sober and refined, deep and spiritual.
In 2004, George Ward Tjungurrayi received the famous Wynne Prize (NSW Art Gallery, Australia). Today he is in great demand in the art world: his works are exhibited in numerous public and private collections around the world.
