PARU Artitja Fine Art Gallery is delighted to be bringing to South Fremantle, this group exhibition from the enormously talented Pilbara artists from the Spinifex Hill Artists Studio based in South Hedland, Western Australia.
Paru is the word for spinifex in the Nyangumarta and Manylilyjarra languages, two strong language groups represented at the Spinifex Hill Studio in South Hedland, WA. Officially opened in 2014, this Pilbara art centre is one of Australia’s newest and most impressive, having achieved local, national and international exposure.
From representational landscape paintings comprising loose and experimental; abstract and textured qualities, this exhibition is a showcase of the exciting and diverse group of painters Maywokka Chapman, Mulyatingki Marney, Illyampi Victor Burton, Nyangula Katie Nalgood, Doreen Chapman, Gloria, Winnie Sampi, Nancy Chapman Nyanjlpayi, Maggie Green and their dynamic approaches to telling of story.

NYANGULYA KATIE NALGOOD
“I was born in Leveringa Station in the Kimberley – you come to the Myroodah river crossing then you’re there. I grew up there and went to school at Camballin, then I went to Derby high School and then to boarding school at Sir James Mitchell in Mount Lawley”.
“Birds are the first things we see, you know, when we wake up. See and hear. Birds are like roosters to us, they wake us up in the mornings. And when the sun goes down they go to sleep and we go to sleep….” - Nyangulya Katie Nalgood
