Pikilyi est un grand et important point d'eau et une source naturelle près de la station du mont Doreen. Pikilyi Jukurrpa (Vaughan Springs Dreaming) raconte la maison de deux serpents arc-en-ciel, héros ancestraux qui vivaient ensemble en tant qu'homme et femme. La femme « serpent arc-en-ciel » appartenait au groupe de peau Napanangka, l'homme était un Japangardi. Il s'agissait d'une relation taboue, contraire à la loi religieuse Warlpiri. Les femmes des sous-sections Napanangka et Napangardi étaient assises près des deux serpents, éliminant les poux. Pour ce service, les deux serpents permettaient aux femmes de puiser l'eau des sources de Pikilyi. C'était parce que les serpents étaient les « kirda », ou propriétaires cérémoniels, de ce pays. Les esprits de ces deux serpents arc-en-ciel sont toujours à Pikilyi aujourd'hui. Ce Dreamings appartient aux femmes et aux hommes des groupes de peaux Japanangka/Napanangka et Japangardi/Napangardi.

Mary Napangardi Butcher est née à Mount Dennison, mais a passé la majeure partie de sa vie à Yuendumu, une communauté aborigène isolée située à 290 km au nord-ouest d'Alice Springs, dans le Territoire du Nord de l'Australie. Elle a fréquenté l'école locale mais n'a pas poursuivi ses études jusqu'à présent (2011), lorsqu'elle s'est inscrite à un cours d'anglais et d'alphabétisation au Batchelor College. Elle est très engagée dans ses études et se rend, au moins deux fois par an, à Darwin pour suivre des cours. Mary est mère célibataire et a deux fils, Herbert et Johnathan Martin. Mary peint depuis 1987 pour la Warlukurlangu Artists Indigenous Corporation, un centre d'art appartenant et géré par des aborigènes situé à Yuendumu. Elle a été grandement influencée par son père Jack Japanangka Butcher (décembre) et sa sœur Daisy Napanangka Nelson (1930 – 2001), tous deux artistes qui ont peint avec les artistes Warlukurlangu au début des années 80 et 90. Mary peignait souvent avec sa sœur Florrie Napangardi Jones et avec Daisy sur la même œuvre d'art. Mary peint ses histoires de Pikilyi Jukurrpa : Pikilyi est un point d'eau sacré qui ne sèche jamais. Ces Rêves représentent la campagne et décrivent des voyages à travers le pays. Des traditions qui lui ont été transmises par son père, son grand-père et leurs pères avant eux depuis des millénaires. Mary adore peindre et en apprendre davantage sur sa culture. « Nous [la famille] nous réunissons et pendant que nous peignons, nous racontons tous des histoires ».

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 have always wanted some of your art and we finally bought two pieces. I love them. While there is a bit of color difference - I'm sure it is the monitor - but nevertheless I am so excited to get them hung. Both pieces are rich and I could not be more please.

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

I was keen to get it straight away so I can get it stretched before our local art shop closed for Christmas. Art Ark is certainly reliable in their delivery times. As other reviews have said, and I couldn't agree more, the paintings are brighter and so evocative in person. This painting is bought as a gift for my son's 18th birthday. Yes, it's not a traditional 18th birthday gift but it makes sense for him for many reasons. I'm honoured to share the beauty and the stories of Australian indigenous artists with our son to mark his journey to adulthood in Australia. Thank-you.
