STORY
George Tjungarrayi gained a growing reputation from the mid 1990ā€™s as the emerging contemporary art market showed its preference for painterliness and a degree of abstraction. This work is based on the Tingari Menā€™s site in his country, west of Kintore. In mythological times a large group of Tingari Men came to this site. They performed ceremonies,singing the songs and performing the dances associated with the area.
