Daniel Walbidi - Tali and Warla, 2015
Est: $50,000 - $70,000
Though his heritage is Yulparija, Daniel Walbidi was born in the remote West Australian coastal community of Bidyadanga. Severe drought and encroaching mining and grazing developments during the 1960s had pushed the Yulparija people coastwards. Along with several other desert tribes, they found refuge at Le Grange Mission and settled amongst the Karajarri, the saltwater estuary dwellers at Bidyadanga. Daniel Walbidi interprets landscape in his country as striking abstract topographies full of life and movement. While concerned with keeping his culture strong, his works contain striking motifs inspired by the modern world and contemporary art. “We still paint the land,” he says, “but in an evolving way.”* This painting depicts the warla (salt lake) and tali (sand dunes) of the Great Sandy Desert around the Percival Lakes in Western Australia. This country is Daniel's traditional land, and where his father was born.

DANIEL WALBIDI born 1983 KIRRIWIRRI, 2007 synthetic polymer paint on linen 70.0 x 232.0 cm bears inscription verso: artist’s name, date, medium, size and Short Street Gallery cat. 2651F PROVENANCE Short Street Gallery, Broome Dr Ann Lewis AO, Sydney Mossgreen Auctions, Sydney, 7 November 2011, lot 39 Private collection, Sydney This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Short Street Gallery. EXHIBITED 2009 Western Australian Indigenous Art Awards, Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth, 25 July - 15 November 2009 (label attached verso) ESSAY Kirriwirri, 2007 was originally commissioned for the small cruise ship, ‘The Orion’, by the ship’s owners. Intended to be hung on an end wall of the vessel’s dining room, the work was painted to the size and specifications of the planned location. When the commission did not proceed, the painting was acquired by Dr. Ann Lewis who had viewed the painting in Perth at The Western Australian Art Award exhibition in 2009. The work is accompanied by a certificate from Short Street Gallery with a statement from Daniel Walbidi which states in part: ‘ “Kirriwirri” is my grandfather’s and my grandmother’s country. That is where they brought up all their kids, and where my father was brought up. It is like their family home, their roots. There is a big claypan at this place, it is an important place for our family. Our clan is also named Kirriwirri, and individual members of our clan are named Kirriwirri.’ ‘Painting is not just what you see.’1 Having spent his entire life living in the coastal town of Bidyadanga in north-west Western Australia, Daniel Walbidi’s Kirriwirri, 2007 is a personal exploration of the artist’s heritage from afar. The painting documents a place he had never visited before 2007 yet had imagined, having grown up listening to the Dreaming stories from this unknown and foreign place. Kirriwirri, located in the Great Sandy Desert close to Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route, was the traditional country of Walbidi's parents, grandparents and home to other clan and family groups. During the 1960s after a severe and widespread drought dramatically affected their desert country, drying up lakes and rock pools completely, they were forced to migrate from their homeland to Bidyadanga or La Grange Mission, a coastal community south of Broome. This desire to paint the traditional country of his family, particularly the important Jila (living water) sites at Kirriwirri and Wirnpa, was the impetus for the emergence of an unexpected art movement of the Yulparija people based at Bidyadanga. In 1999, when just sixteen and acutely aware of the cultural displacement of his people, Walbidi visited Short Street Gallery in Broome to exhibit some of his paintings, with the wider hope that an artistic community could be established. This event led to the Gallery providing a group of elders with modern painting materials which were embraced enthusiastically by Yulparija painters such as Weaver Jack, Alma Webou and Parlurn Harry Bullen, who took the opportunity to depict their history reviving the tradition and heritage of the Yulparija, resulting in the Bidyadanga art movement.2 In late 2007, Walbidi finally travelled to his traditional lands around Winpa and Kirriwirri on a trip with senior artists, including his father. The visit was intended to rejuvenate the ancestral connections between the Yulparitja and their country, and deeply inspired Walbidi, marking a transition in his career. Having also seen for the first time, his country from the air, his later works, evident in paintings like Kirriwirri, are characterised by tighter composition with blocks of bright patchwork colours mapping out all the Jila and revealing details of his country. As the accompanying certificate explains ‘Daniel’s painting reflects the complex desert landscape full of life and colour. He depicts salt lakes (white areas) and the talis (sand hills).’3 1.

Kirriwirri is my grandfatherÕs and grandmotherÕs country, where they brought up all their children including my father. It is like their family home, their roots. Our clan is also named Kirriwirri. Kirriwirri is a jila (living water) near Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy Desert. It is important to many other family and clan groups because it has water that never dries out even in the driest of seasons. My painting reflects the complex desert landscape full of life and colour. It depicts salt lakes (the white areas) and the talis (sand hills). I have never been to Kirriwirri but I have a deep desire to travel to this country and become connected to it. - Daniel Walbidi

This Yulparija country is in the Great Sandy Desert in Western Australia near the Percival Lakes. In 2007, Daniel Walbidi accompanied a number of Yulparitja elders, including his father Harry Bullen (Nabiru), on a journey from Bidyadanga back to their traditional lands around Winpa and Kirriwirri in the Great Sandy Desert. The visit was intended to reinvigorate the ancestral connections between the Yulparitja and their country, and was a watershed learning experience for the young Walbidi. It was also the first time he saw his country from the air, an experience that was to have a profound effect on his painting.1 Painted later that same year, All the Jila maps out all the freshwater sites at Karrparti, Kawarr, Jurntiwa and Wirrguja within a tapestry of colour and forms that was to become the hallmark of Walbidis painting. Studying art at school and university, Walbidi was inspired by Aboriginal artists such as Albert Namatjira, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, and closer to home, Rover Thomas whose customary lands lie adjacent to those of the Yulparitja. In 2008, Walbidi was selected for the Xstrata Emerging Indigenous Art Award at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane. In 2009, his work was included in Contemporary Aboriginal Painting from Australia, the first exhibition of modern Aboriginal art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and in 2012, he was selected for unDisclosed, the second National Indigenous Art Triennial at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.

ESSAY: This work is accompanied by a certificate from Short St. Gallery which states: Kirriwirri is my grandfathers and my grandmothers country. That is where they brought up all their children, and where my father was brought up. It is like their family home, their roots. There is a big claypan at this place, it is an important place for our family. Our clan is also named Kirriwirri, and individual members of our clan are named Kirriwirri. Kirriwirri is a Jila (living water) near well 33 on the canning stock route in the Great Sandy Desert. Daniels painting reflects the complex desert landscape full of life and colour.

My father along with his older siblings spent their childhood and adolescence here. Kirriwirri is also important to many other family and clan groups because it is a living jila meaning it has water that never dries out even during the driest of seasons. I have never been to Kirriwirri but I have a deep desire within to travel and see this country to become connected. My grandparents have sadly passed away a long time ago so I guess if I ever do go back to Kirriwirri I would be taking them back. I also paint another important place called Wirnpa. Wirnpa and Kirriwirri are very important to me because I am related to two of these jila. Kirriwirri is my grandfather and Wirnpa is may grandfather they also relate to each other being brothers in laws. Wirnpa is of the same skin group as me, we are both purungu and Kirriwirri is the milangka skin group. Daniel Walbidi is the inadvertent catalyst behind the emergence of a contemporary art movement of the Yulparija people based at Bidyadanga (formerly La Grange Mission), south of Broome on the Western Australian coast. As a sixteen year old, his visit in 1999 to the Short Street Gallery in Broome to exhibit some of his paintings led to the Gallery providing a group of elders with modern painting materials. These were embraced enthusiastically to depict the history and lands of the Yulparija, an inland desert group forced to migrate to the coast in the 1960s following a severe and prolonged drought. While most of the recognised Yulparija painters such as Weaver Jack, Alma Webou and Parlurn Harry Bullen were all senior cultural leaders, Walbidi emerged as a leading light among the younger generation. His rise to prominence began with a solo exhibition at William Mora Galleries in 2006; in 2008, he was selected for the Xstrata Emerging Indigenous Art Award and in 2009, for the Western Australian Indigenous Art Awards; in 2012, he was represented in unDisclosed, the 2nd National Indigenous Art Triennial at the National Gallery of Australia; and in 2013, he was a finalist in the pretigious Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Kirriwirri has a profound personal connection for the artist; it is Walbidis paternal grandparents country, where his father was born and raised. Kirriwirri also lies near Kunawarritji, Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route, nearby the birthplace of Rover Thomas. The site features a large claypan and salt lakes (the white areas in the painting), living jila (permanent freshwater springs) and tali or sandhills. Accordingly, this chromatically scintillating painting may be considered as a yearning to visit Kirriwirri, which at the time it was created, Walbidi had not done. The work reflects the subject of much Yulparija art, the depiction of now distant lands that were once inhabited and remain home. This approach to art is reminiscent of that of the very first painters at Papunya in 1971 who were inspired by the ancestral lands from which they had been removed. WALLY CARUANA

Ainsworth Collection, Queensland ESSAY: 'I paint to educate people about my culture and our history, and where we come from, so to give people understanding. I also paint so I can learn about my culture from the old people. It is important for me to paint so I can keep my culture strong and living so it can be carried on into the future.'1 Kirriwirri is a reflection of Daniel Walbidi's career as an artist and as a Mangala/Yulparitja man exploring his heritage. Walbidi's parents migrated from their traditional country in the Great Sandy Desert after a widespread drought during the 1960s dramatically altered the landscape. As lakes and rock pools completely desiccated, many Aboriginal people moved from the desert to Bidyadanga or La Grange Mission, a coastal community south of Broome. Having spent his entire life in Bidyadanga, Walbidi grew up listening to the Dreaming stories from his traditional lands, an unknown and foreign place that he had never laid eyes upon. Drawn to these tales, Walbidi's imagination ran wild with images of the desert, providing inspiration for his artistic practice. At the young age of 16, Walbidi was keenly aware of the cultural displacement of his people. He approached Short Street Gallery in Broome in the hope that an artistic community could be established, reviving the tradition and heritage of his people. For the first time, a generation of elders worked with modern art materials, resulting in the Bidyadanga art movement.2 It was in 2007 that Walbidi first encountered his traditional lands around Winpa and Kirriwirri on a trip with senior artists, including his father. Deeply inspired, it was this significant trip that marked the transition in Walbidi's career, evident in works like Kirriwirri. Walbidi immediately began to paint with a tighter composition and with blocks of bright patchwork colours that simultaneously explored his traditional and adopted lands; the desert and the coast. As demonstrated in the picture on offer, '... colours compressed to such an extent that the energy bursts off the canvas'.3 Francesca Cubillo examines four important works also titled Kirriwirri that featured in the 2nd National Indigenous Art Triennial, unDisclosed: 'Walbidi's early paintings are panoramas of his Country seen from afar. Viewed from a distance, the painted forms appear large and merge one into another. Walbidi's recent experiences revealed to him the wondrous details of his Country, which he incorporates into his paintings today.'4 1.

The movement became significant because for the first time the desert iconography was being depicted in colours of saltwater country-rich aquas, blues, pindan reds and deep purples. It became a means by which the artists could incorporate their contemporary world with their cultural heritage. Wally Caruana
