About the Painting and Artist

‘Rock Holes at Talaalpi’ painting by Aboriginal Artist Alice Nampitjinpa Alice Nampitjinpa is a Pintupi artist who was born in 1943 near Talaalpi, a swamp close to and a little bit to the east of Walungurru on the Western Australian border. Alice started painting on the “Minyama Tjukurrpa” - the Kintore Haasts Bluff collaborative canvas project. As a painter she is inspired by her rich cultural heritage and thrives when involved with her stories and lore. The painting refers to the vast and desolate sandhills of her country near Taalalpi, which is located beyond the Kintore/Kiwikurra road near the Western Australian and Northern Territory border.

When Alice Springs played host to the 48th AAG Conference in November 2015, the NT committee were keen to engage with the local Aboriginal peoples and communities. As part of this AAG engaged with Ikuntji Artists, a member-based, not-for-profit, Aboriginal art centre and purchased ‘Rock Holes at Talaalpi’ and licensing.

Alice Nampitjinpa is affiliated to Ikuntji Artists. Ikuntji Artists is a member-based, not-for-profit, Aboriginal art centre. It is situated in the community of Haasts Bluff (Ikuntji. For more information on Alice Nampitjinpa or Ikuntji Artists visit their website at http://ikuntji.com.au/
