About Artwork
Code: EDA-AP1872/20
Artist: Angelina Pwerle Ngala
Region: Camel Camp, Utopia, Northern Territory
Medium: Polymer acrylic on Belgian linen
Size: 90cm x 120cm
Artist Information
Angelina Pwerle Ngala has come into international prominence with her interpretation of her Dreaming - the Bush Plum – Arnwekety. She builds up many fine layers of dotting over a carbon black background as if she is observing the bush plum plant from an aerial perspective as it in bourgeons over her country of Arlparra. The subtle changes in the depth and intensity of the layers of dot-work produce a multi-dimensional textured and kaleidoscopic surface.
‘In 1986 she was introduced to batik; however, in recent years she has primarily focused on sculpture and painting. The representation of the Bush plum (Arnwekety), Arrker (night owl), bush foods, and flowers remain the central concerns of her work. Along with the other women artists of Utopia, Pwerle was first given canvas and acrylic paint in the late 1980s. Her canvases characteristically feature an intense concentration of dots which produce the effect of movement or shadows, across the surface. Her work is distinct from that of other artists in the community in the clarity of her colour schemes. Placed on dark backgrounds, the dots take on pure, ephemeral quality.
