GEORGE TJUNGURRAYI WARD

The Courthouse Gallery+Studio is honoured to showcase the first solo exhibition of recent works by senior desert artist George Tjungurrayi Ward. Ward invited us into his painterly and richly coloured descriptive paintings by sharing sacred tjukurrpa dreaming about the Tingari – ancient creational figures who moved through country inhabited by the Pintupi.

His narrative paintings often depict the Tinagri men, women and children travelling from rock hole to rock hole. The Tingari theme is continually repeated in Ward’s paintings, as he finds new ways to rearticulate his ancestral connection to country.
