Ngirramanujuwal: The Art and Country of Jimmy Pike

Ngirramanujuwal is one who adds colour. Walmajarri man Jimmy Pike (c. 1940 – 2002) manifests colour as strokes of ink on paper: the saturated hues of the desert sky at dusk, and the glimmers of the sun on the water’s surface. His vivid and exceptional drawing, painting and printing skills reveal the desert as a place teeming with colourful life, history and stories.
