The Artist
Warlayirti Artists, Western Australia (accompanied a copy of the certificate of authenticity)
Private Collection, Melbourne
"Maruwar is a large area around and north of Lack Mackay. This painting depicts the circular figure from underground. This is strong law country and some of the black lines refer to body paint used in ceremonies at "young fella time" - the initiation of young men. Tjumpo is a senior custodian of this area, and one of the most important leaders of Law at Balgo and Kiwirrkurra."
