Kathleen Petyarre Occupies An Important Place In Contemporary Aboriginal Painting: Born In
The Early 1940S, She Belongs To The Generation That Took Part In Its Development In Papunya,
Yuendumu And Then In The Rest Of The Australian Desert From 1970 Onwards. She Herself Is
Originally From The Atnagkere Territory To The North-East Of Alice Springs, And It Was In The Late
1970S That She And A Group Of Women From Utopia First Learned The Batik Technique, Before
Turning To Canvas To Create The Secret Motifs Inherited From The Dreamtime, While At The Same
Time Leading The Land Claims Movements That Were Then In Full Swing. So It Was That She First
Took Part In Group Exhibitions Of Batik (1980: Utopia Batik, Mona Byrne'S Artworks Gallery,
Alice Springs) And Then Of Paintings (In 1989 For The First Time And Since Then Regularly In
Australia And The United States - Boston, In 1990; Passadena, In 1990 Etc. - And In Europe -
Germany, The Netherlands, Etc.).
Her First Solo Exhibition In Australia Dates Back To 1996, And Since Then Her Talent Has
Continued To Assert Itself, As Demonstrated, For Example, By The Major 2001 Exhibition
‘Genius Of The Place’, Commented On In The Eponymous Book-Catalogue By Christine Nicholls
And Ian North. Now Recognised As One Of The Greatest Aboriginal Artists, Kathleen Petyarre
Has Also Received Numerous Awards, Including The Vizy Board Prize In 1997 And The
People'S Choice Award In 1998.
