Cooee Art Indigenous Fine Art Auction "This work depicts a Women's site near an important Rockhole, at Tjukurla in the Western Desert. The lines throughout the painting represent sandhills. This was an important site for Wentja+IBk-s father, Shorty Lungkata, who was a very prominent Papunya senior artist. Wentja Napaltjarri was born at Malparinga, and grew up west of Kintore in the Gibson Desert. She began her own career painting for Watiyawanu Artists at Mount Liebig. Wentja mostly paints Blue Tongue Lizard and Water Dreaming stories, and the sandhills, rockholes, and other landmarks associated with water and Desert Oak trees. In contrast to her father's work, Wentja's paintings are less geometric, with an emphasis on the iconography with help of delicate interlacing and intricate finely dotted patterning. This soft dotting technique is characteristic of many of the Mount Liebig female artists.+IB0 Contact Cooee Art for more information on this Aboriginal artwork.
