Dans ce tableau, les artistes représentent le Waru Tjukurrpa (Rêve de Feu) à Watarru. Watarru est situé dans les terres Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (terres APY) au nord-ouest de l'Australie du Sud, à proximité de Kanpi, Piplitjara, Maralinga et Ochre Valley. Ce Tjukurrpa vient du propre pays d'Anne à Watarru et ce Tjukurrpa lui a été transmis par sa grand-mère maternelle. Le Tjukurrpa raconte l'histoire de deux Tjangala voyageant de Yuendumu, dans le Territoire du Nord, vers le sud jusqu'à Watarru, emportant le feu avec eux. Une fois arrivés à Watarru, ils jetèrent le bâton de feu sur le sol et créèrent un grand trou et une montagne. Les deux Tjangalas ont tout créé à Watarru, puis ils sont retournés à Yuendumu. Cela fait partie d'un grand Tjukurrpa de Yuendumu, appelé Warlukurlangu. Les deux Tjangalas ont laissé de nombreux esprits Ngangkari (guérisseurs traditionnels) dans ce lieu que détiennent tous les enfants. L'artiste représente souvent ces enfants assis à la campagne avec leurs mères, entourés de puli puli (rochers) et de kapi (trous de roches). Anne se souvient avoir visité son pays en 1993 avec sa belle-mère, Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon et sa famille. Là, ils pouvaient voir les empreintes des enfants sur les parois rocheuses.

Beryl Jimmy est une femme Pitjantjatjara vivant dans la colonie communautaire de Watarru, à l'extrême nord-ouest de l'Australie du Sud, dans une zone appelée désert occidental. Elle est née en 1970. Le travail de Beryl s'inspire d'un lien profond avec le pays, et ses liens spirituels avec le désert s'expriment avec intégrité, beauté et créativité. Les connaissances traditionnelles en matière de collecte de nourriture et de sources d'eau étaient vitales pour la survie dans ce paysage désertique dynamique et constituent un thème important dans son travail.
Cette connaissance culturelle est transmise oralement dans le récit des Tjukurpa (récits traditionnels des voyages des ancêtres), qui soutiennent non seulement les Anangu (peuple autochtone) physiquement, mais socialement et spirituellement.
La peinture de Tjukurpa représente un fragment d'une histoire plus vaste, une histoire vivante où un ancêtre a été impliqué dans la création du pays. Les individus ont l’autorité et la propriété de ces terres ainsi que des sites et histoires associés. Le maintien de ce pays est primordial pour les artistes de Watarru et ils continuent de prendre soin et de gérer la terre avec respect et responsabilité.

De nombreuses histoires sont encore racontées sur les longs voyages de personnes de différents groupes linguistiques, qui ont voyagé des trous rocheux et des points d'eau aux grottes et aux montagnes pour finalement arriver à Haasts Bluff. Les locaux, les Luritja de Haasts Bluff, étaient déjà là. Haasts Bluff est donc une communauté riche de diversité linguistique et culturelle.

Ikuntji Artists a été créé en 1992, après une série d'ateliers avec l'artiste de Melbourne Marina Strocchi, et sous l'influence de la présidente de la communauté de l'époque, feu Esther Jugadai. Le centre d'art a été initialement créé pour remplir le rôle de centre pour femmes fournissant des services tels que la restauration pour les personnes âgées et les enfants de la communauté. Après des premières expériences dans l'impression de T-shirts, les artistes ont commencé à produire des peintures acryliques sur lin et papier fait main, ce qui a rapidement attiré l'attention du monde de l'art australien et international et a valu au centre une réputation impressionnante en matière de beaux-arts. L'orientation est passée d'un centre pour femmes à un centre d'art en 2005 avec l'incorporation du centre d'art sous le nom d'Ikuntji Artists Indigenous Corporation.

Les artistes puisent leur inspiration dans leur ngurra (pays) et leur Tjukurrpa (Rêve) personnels. Ils interprètent les histoires ancestrales en utilisant des symboles, des icônes et des motifs traditionnels. Le répertoire artistique des artistes Ikuntji est diversifié et comprend par exemple : des peintures naïves ainsi que très abstraites racontées par chaque artiste dans son style personnel. Tout au long de ses 21 années d'existence, le mouvement artistique d'Ikuntji a prospéré et a constamment laissé sa marque dans le monde des beaux-arts. Dans le même temps, le centre d'art est le centre culturel de la communauté, entretenant, renforçant et revigorant les pratiques culturelles à travers la création artistique.

Aujourd'hui, Ikuntji Artists compte huit artistes clés qui exposent en Australie et à l'étranger. Ils sont représentés dans de grandes collections à travers le monde.

It’s centrally located in Launceston and definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area! It’s beautifully presented and almost overwhelming with all of the incredible art on display - we could have literally spent hours there! It’s by appointment only which made it a really relaxing environment to make our way through each beautiful piece of art and not feel rushed. Guy was so wonderful, he gave us the space to explore the gallery at our own pace but also on hand when we had any questions or wanted to know more about the artist or story behind the art (he was so knowledgeable!). He was also kind enough to help keep our toddler entertained with toys and activities so we could focus on looking through all of the beautiful pieces and not be stressed! We loved the philosophy behind Art Ark and their strong values around maintaining ethics in the industry. We can’t wait to visit again!

I have loved to read and understand the Abouriginal culture believing in the ancient wisdom it has to teach us about how to live in our world. I decided to buy my adult daughter a work that was astoundingly exquisite. I was unsure of buying something so far away from the states but took the risk due to the sensitive viewpoint on ethical practices. With in a very short time my daughter had received her gift and sent me a photo holding the beautiful work. I sing the praises of this good company and encourage others to place their trust in them as I was not disappointed. Hats off and kudos to honest marketing and good service

I reached out to Guy about visiting the gallery on our stopover in Launceston, and he very kindly welcomed us in, taught us about the organization and about aboriginal art, and told us about the artists and their work. There's an incredible array of paintings, and Guy was very patient with us while we made our decision. When we got home to the U.S., our paintings were already there waiting for us. I can't recommend Art Ark enough for their ethics, professionalism, and the sheer quality of these incredible pieces of art.

Suffice to say I knew and worked with Wenton Rubuntja when I moved to central Australia in the mid 1980s. The houses of all my friends and family as well as our own house here in Adelaide are full of Wenten pieces both watercolour and dot paintings, on board and canvas and anything else he could find! He was an incredible man and it was wonderful to read the notes. I worked in the establishment of old people’s services and had a lot to do with Wenten and the elders in his family. As you can imagine my memories of Mervyn are of a very young boy. What I do know is that he is just utterly brilliant, his talent is outstanding and everything he does just leaps right off the paper. I had never looked at Art Ark before and was scrolling through really admiring the quality of the works and whamo there was the Mervyn and my father who has two Mervyn postcard size works I bought him, is about to turn 100, and I acted FAST! – but not as fast as my father acted when he opened the package in Sydney. He absolutely loves it and I wasn’t going to make him wait one day to look at it and enjoy it. He is very discerning and an art fanatic to put it mildly. So it’s at the framers my father rushed his almost one hundred feet out the door and had already decided where it would go on his walls. So thank you for the wonderful quality and the superb packaging (only one small pressure mark on the cardboard outside but nothing deep or problematic about it) and for giving my Dad so much joy. We miss Central Australia, we were at Wenten’s funeral and the pull of central Australia is always present. We have a lovely Mervyn painting which we have yet to frame (I did not inherit my father’s capacity for speed) and we treasure it. Thanks so much. Excellent professional and wonderful. Cheers Jo
