A striking original Aboriginal artwork by Alyawarr artist Alec Pula Lewis from the Artists of Ampilatwatja community in the Northern Territory. Through layered colour and detailed brushwork, the painting reflects the distinctive style of Ampilatwatja artists, who depict their Country and the landscapes that sustain their communities.
Alec was born at McDonald Downs Station and grew up living traditionally on the land. He now lives in Ampilatwatja with his family, where he continues to paint and share his knowledge of Country with the next generation. This artwork is titled My Country.
Artists from Ampilatwatja are known for painting their Country rather than sacred Dreaming stories, showing the layered landscape, water sources and bush foods that are part of daily life in Alyawarr Country.
Painted on linen and supplied unstretched, the artwork offers flexibility when framing to suit your home. As the painting has been created from multiple directions, it can be stretched and displayed in different orientations.
Each artwork is a one-of-a-kind piece created by the artist and accompanied by documentation confirming the story and authenticity of the work.
This original Aboriginal artwork is from the Artists of of Ampilatwatja
The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999, 325km north east of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) in the Northern Territory. Ampilatwatja lies on Aherrenge country, the land of the Alyawarre people.
The work produced by the artists is unique and recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities. The paintings pay homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine. They depict the traditional knowledge of dreaming and country through the translation of waterholes and soaks, bush medicines, mountains and sand hills.
In keeping with the religious laws, the artists reveal only a small amount of knowledge to the uninitiated. The information that is held sacred to the artists is concealed from the public and layered underneath the common visual narrative, masked by the delicate layered dots of the painting.
The art centre helps keep culture strong and is proudly an Aboriginal owned and governed corporation which supports ethical practice in the creation and sale of indigenous art.
