The work of John West Tjupurrula (b. 1982, based in Kiwirrkurra, Australia) is informed by his position as the son of two recognised artists who worked through Papunya Tula Artists, Freddy West Tjakamarra and Payu Napaltjarri, as well as his work as a ranger, using drones to survey unimaginably vast expanses of Country. In his work, Country is painted with simultaneous perspectives, as seen from above and as experienced by traveling on foot, as the Pintupi would have. Sinuous, interconnected forms and clusters of marks represent songlines, or journeys, taken by Ancestors in the Dreamtime; sudden changes in colour and certain repeating forms hover on the surface of the images, at once too distant and too close to discern.
