KUDDITJI KNGWARREYE

Born around 1928, Kudditji Kngwarreye, the younger brother of the late Emily Kame Kngwarreye, had a traditional bush upbringing in the Utopia region before starting a long career as a stockman and mine worker. An Anmatyerre elder and custodian of many important Dreamings, Kudditji was inspired by the work coming out of Papunya to paint his own Dreamings, telling of the travels and law of the Emu ancestors.

Starting in 1986, his precisely dotted Emu Dreaming paintings became sought after by major galleries in the Northern Territory.

Breaking out of this style after some years, Kudditji's work became far looser and more abstract and some commentators have seen a strong similarity with his sister Emily's work. His works have been shown throughout Australia and the USA since that time to much acclaim. In 2006 Kudditji was nominated for Art Collector Magazine 50 Most collectable artists.

In this painting Kudditji has depicted the varying landscapes of his country.
