About the Art:
Iltja Ntjarra artists’ new post office wall mural is a poignant and colourful work that reimagines the 2002 Birth Centenary of the Albert Namatjira Mini Sheet stamp set. Iltja Ntjarra artists are proud to once again pay homage to past family members and celebrate the excellence of their artwork in application and medium.
Funding:
This mural was made possible thanks to Project Seed; a Red Hot Arts Central Australian initiative to support local artists in their development and creation of new work.
About Iltja Ntjarra Art Centre:
Iltja Ntjarra has a special focus on supporting the ‘Hermannsburg School’ style watercolour artists, who continue to paint in the tradition of their grandfather and relative, Albert Namatjira, arguably one of Australia’s most famous artists of the 20th century. Albert Namatjira taught his children to follow in his unique style, who have since passed this knowledge on to their children, which has resonated in a legacy of watercolour artists in the Central Desert region. By continuing his legacy, these artists sustain an important piece of living history.
