                RONNIE TJAMPITJINPA c. 1943-2023 UNTITLED (KAAKARATINTJA - LAKE MACDONALD), 1992 acrylic on canvas board 45 x 60 cm; 48.5 x 64.5 cm (framed) artwork cataloguing details verso PROVENANCE Papunya Tula Artists, NT Cat No. RT 920406 Private Collection, NSW Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists ©Ronnie Tjampitjinpa / Copyright Agency, 2024 This painting is associated with the Echidna Dreaming, the large central roundel representing the swampy area just to the west of Kaakaratintja (Lake MacDonald). The Tingari song and dance cycles are the most secret and sacred of the deeply religious rituals of the Western Desert Tribes of Central Australia. The rituals associated with them consist of hundreds of song and dance cycles telling of the travels and adventures of the Tingari and their creation of sacred sites and fertility rites. Ronnie Tjampitjinpa walked with his family out of the West Australian desert and settled into life at the tumultuous and crowded settlement of Papunya at 13 years of age. He was in his late 20s at the dawn of the Desert painting movement. He became one of the youngest painters for Papunya Tula and, during the early years, was tutored by Old Mick Tjakamarra. As senior custodian of the Honey Ant Dreaming, Tjakamarra had played an instrumental role in initiating the Papunya art movement. Ronnie's works first appeared in Papunya Tula exhibitions during the 1970s, and later in commercial art galleries in Sydney and Melbourne throughout the 1980s, when he won the Alice Springs Art Prize. Ronnie was foremost amongst those who transformed Pintupi men's painting style during the early to mid 1990s. His work was subsequently included in a number of major survey exhibitions in Australia and overseas, culminating in a solo retrospective in 2015 at the Art Gallery of NSW. The Tingari song and dance cycles are the most secret and sacred of the deeply religious rituals of the Western Desert Tribes of Central Australia. The rituals associated with them consist of hundreds of song and dance cycles telling of the travels and adventures of the Tingari and their creation of sacred sites and fertility rites. This piece is a fine example of an Australian Aboriginal artwork.

                Ronnie Tjampitjinpa (c.1943) tingari cycle, Ronnie's works first appeared in Papunya Tula exhibitions during the 1970s and later in commercial art galleries in Sydney and Melbourne throughout the 1980s. He won the Alice Springs Art Prize in 1988, followed by successive solo exhibitions at Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi in 1989 and 1990. More than any other figure, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa can be credited with having forged a new artistic direction in embracing aesthetic minimalism, freeing up further possibilities for the younger upcoming generation of painters and challenging fixed perceptions of Western Desert art. His hypnotic designs explore interacting geometric shapes, which emanate an eye-catching, pulsating action. Still infused with the Dreamings of his mythical Tingari ancestors, Tjampitjinpa refined the characteristic Pintupi simplicity of design, boldly scaling up fundamental pictorial elements, freeing them from their iconographic reference points and strongly emphasising the distinctive repetition of line and form that has always infused Pintupi art with the spirit of their vast and ancient lands. The Artwork measures 151cm high x 91cm wide x 3cm deep.

The ceremonies associated with this mythology form part of the secret Tingari Cycle therefore no further detail was given. Generally, the Tingari are a group of mythical characters of the Dreaming who travelled over vast stretches of the country, performing rituals and creating and shaping particular sites. The Tingari Men were usually followed by Tingari Women and accompanied by novices and their travels and adventures are enshrined in a number of song cycles. These mythologies form part of the teachings of the post initiatory youths today as well as providing explanations for contemporary customs.' © Ronnie Tjampitjinpa/Copyright Agency 2024

                Est: $5,000 - $7,000

                Ronnie Tjampitjinpa (born in 1943) Tingari cycle, Ronnie's works first appeared in Papunya Tula exhibitions during the 1970s and later in commercial art galleries in Sydney and Melbourne throughout the 1980s. He won the Alice Springs Art Prize in 1988, followed by successive solo exhibitions at Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi in 1989 and 1990. More than any other figure, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa can be credited with having forged a new artistic direction in embracing aesthetic minimalism, freeing up further possibilities for the younger upcoming generation of painters and challenging fixed perceptions of Western Desert art. His hypnotic designs explore interacting geometric shapes, which emanate an eye-catching, pulsating action. Still infused with the Dreamings of his mythical Tingari ancestors, Tjampitjinpa refined the characteristic Pintupi simplicity of design, boldly scaling up fundamental pictorial elements, freeing them from their iconographic reference points and strongly emphasising the distinctive repetition of line and form that has always infused Pintupi art with the spirit of their vast and ancient lands. The Artwork measures 151cm high x 91cm wide x 3cm deep. The original photographs taken by the artist while creating this artwork are included in this lot. Those photos will be added to the lot/listing shortly.

                Ronnie Tjampitjinpa's works first appeared in Papunya Tula exhibitions during the 1970s, and later in commercial art galleries in Sydney and Melbourne throughout the 1980s. He won the Alice Springs Art Prize in 1988 and this was followed by successive solo exhibitions at Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi in 1989 and 1990. While it may be challenging to reconcile his reductive linear works which first appeared in the mid 1990s, with their traditional content, the overall shimmer he effects with seemingly minimal application radiates the artist's authority and self-assuredness. This large scale painting represents a site on the Tingari creation songline. Since events associated with the Tingari cycle are of a secret nature no further details are given.

                Est: $40,000 - $60,000

                Although he began painting in the early 1970s, Ronnie Tjampitjinpa's reductive, linear works first appeared in the mid - 1990s. While it may be challenging to reconcile these contemporary images with their traditional content, the overall shimmer he effects with seemingly minimal application radiates the artist's authority and self-assuredness. His technique and the mood he creates by manipulating space allows him to command a greater scale of painting, a feature of commissioned works since 1999. However as big pictures, they remain uncompromising. His mastery of design principles, often using just two or three colours with core iconic symbols, retains a purity that has set him apart from his peers. This large scale painting depicts the travels of the Tingari Men to the site of Ungama, south west of Kiwirrkura. A large group of wise men travelled across the country and gathered at this site performing ceremonies, then they travelled to Kiwirrkura. The formations in this painting represent rainwater filtering and washing its way to the soakage water site at Ungama.
