DIANE UNGUKALPI GOLDING Sold at Auction Prices

Dianne Ungukalpi Golding is an artist belonging to the Ngaanyatjarra language and cultural group in Western Australia.

Dianne has made baskets for a number of years and first learnt from relatives in Warakurna. She enjoys experimenting with different shapes and says: “Some long like piti (traditional wood dish), some round like the sun.” She has since made a number of sculptural pieces drawing inspiration from the animals prevalent on the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, whether they be the camp dogs in the community or the goannas, porcupines, or rabbits hunted out bush.

      Feb. 18, 2020

      DIANNE UNGUKALPI GOLDING, KARRKU ADVENTURE CAMP, 2011

      Est: $3,000 - $4,000

      DIANNE UNGUKALPI GOLDING born 1966 KARRKU ADVENTURE CAMP, 2011 synthetic polymer paint on linen SIGNED: inscribed verso: artist’s name, size and Warakurna Artists cat. 962‎-11 DIMENSIONS: 101.5 x 152.0 cm PROVENANCE: Warakurna Artists, Western Australia‎ Private collection, Melbourne‎ Deutscher and Hackett, Melbourne, 26 November 2014, lot 138‎ Private collection, Melbourne This work is located in our Melbourne gallery. Dianne Ungukalpi Golding's work was included in History Paintings, 2011, and History Paintings Part 2 (Outstation Art from Art Centres), featuring narrative historical works of Warakurna artists. The National Museum of Australia acquired many of these works for its permanent collection. The current work came from the second exhibition. Karrku Adventure Camp is a radiantly joyous evocation of an outreach facility organized by the Western Australian Police and the Ngaanyatjarra Council and supported by Ngaanyatjarra School, Ngaanyatjarra Shire Youth Officers, Ngaanyatjarra Sexual Health, DCP and NPY Women's Council. But the painting's naive-realist style together with its irresistible comic touches mask the painting's deeper concerns: the camp's aim is to care for troubled teenagers and encourage them to go to school. The burlesque jollity of the tiny figures peering in wonder from their dorm windows therefore reflexively alludes to the spectre of cross-cultural disruption, identity trauma, and inter-generational dislocation and pain. Karrku Adventure Camp must therefore be read as much more than a delightful picture postcard: it is testament to the nurturing intimacy of a mother's vision, and more generally, women's culture as palliative restorative agency.
