These vibrant works help to celebrate living history, and the stories and culture of the artists. Their installation in a prominent location in Hartley Street carpark ensure they will be seen and enjoyed by the wider community for years to come.
The artists from Iltja Ntjarra Art Centre responsible for these works are Nunay Selma Coulthard, Kathy Inkamala, Dellina Inkamala, Noreen Hudson, Clara Inkamala, Kathleen France, Hubert Pareroultja, Vanessa Inkamala & Reinhold Inkamala
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.
