Yukultji Napangati, Lorna Ward and John West

Opening reception | Thursday 19 March, 6 – 8pm
Edel Assanti is pleased to present a parallel exhibition of recent works by three Papunya Tula Artists, on view in the UK for the first time. The show opens with a dialogue between paintings by Yukultji Napangati, following her presentation in the gallery’s group exhibition Each Place Its Own Mind, and Lorna Ward Napanangka. The works mirror natural phenomena, linking ancestral narratives and Dreamings to the landforms of their Country. Exhibited in the adjacent gallery, John West Tjupurrula’s paintings depict aerial perspectives of surrounding landscapes, drawing on drone footage and photography as references for colour, form, and pattern.
