Cette œuvre raconte l'histoire de deux ancêtres féminines, sœurs, dans la région de Watarru, en Australie méridionale. Ces sœurs fuient un homme qui les poursuit, se cachant dans des trous rocheux et des grottes au milieu des plaines sablonneuses du désert. Les motifs hypnotisants de lignes et de points représentent les vastes sables du désert. La sœur cadette est enceinte ; ceci est indiqué par le grand symbole de cercles concentriques, qui est le dessin peint sur le ventre des femmes enceintes lors de la cérémonie. Le motif de deux cercles plus petits reliés par des lignes fortes représente la peinture corporelle de la sœur aînée, dont la poitrine serait peinte de ce motif. La sœur aînée prend soin de sa sœur cadette et aide à la cacher de l'homme qui la poursuit.

Noreen est la fille de la peintre et artiste textile Anne Dixon et de Simon Dixon, fils de la célèbre artiste Alice Nampitjinpa. Elle peint en compagnie de sa mère et apprend les histoires de sa mère.

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.
