Biddy Timms Napanangka Her Meditations 3 - 24 August 2024 Opening: Saturday 3rd August - 3-5pm Cooee Art Leven is excited to announce the new exhibition ‘Her Meditiations’ by artist Biddy Timms Napanangka, in conjunction with her representing not-for-profit art centre Warnayaka. The catalogue of works is now available for preview - contact the gallery if you would like to receive an advanced copy ahead of our opening on 3rd August! “Biddy Timms Napanangka has been a working artist for almost twenty years, during which her practice has steadily evolved. You would be hard-pressed to recognise the finely detailed brushwork of an early Timms Napanangka if you were only familiar with her later work. Warlpiri painting practice as a whole is usually presented as a rhythmic, meditative process involving singing and dancing; swift and fine dot-work spreads over the canvas as the artist traces her sacred Songline across stretches of the Tanami Desert. The art from Lajamanu - as opposed to Yuendumu, the larger of the two Warlpiri townships - is known predominantly for featuring loose, gestural paintings. At this stage in her career, Napanangka has turned to a more inward form of meditation as she paints. Observing her at work invokes the meditative raking of sand in a Japanese Zen garden. Loaded with a new colour, her brush drives across the surface, as though unearthing the new colour from underneath the base layer.”

Kitty Napanangka Simon is a dedicated artist with a distinctive, singular aesthetic. Her paintings were at first denounced by senior men for straying too far from the traditional idiom – have excited discriminating curators and collectors since her first solo exhibition at Cooee Art in 2013 winning admirers both inside and out- side her tight knit Warlpiri community. The paintings appear to be grounded in abstraction, yet it would be hard to conceive of more descriptive visual articulations of country in Aboriginal desert art. country x Country 27 JULY - 26 AUGUST 2023 OPENING THURSDAY 27TH JULY 2023 | 6PM 17 THURLOW STREET REDFERN NSW 2016 Artists: Kitty Napanangka Simon and Neil Ernest Tomkins Curated by Gadigal Artist Konstantina (Kate Constantine) @warnayakaartcentre @neil_ernest_tomkins @konstantina_aboriginalart
