COMPLETED: 2009

MEDIUM: Artist acrylic paint on double primed Matisse canvas

THE PAINTING:  With this extra large superb painting, Damien has lovingly crafted an iconic masterpiece of the highest order. Using a bold pallette of rich colours set against a contrasting black primed background, Damien tells the story of Snake Dreaming. He has used a vast array of traditional symbols to portray the story. His wonderful use of colour, design and sense of movement has to be seen to be truly appreciated. As Damien's star is definitely on the rise in the indigenous artworld, this striking piece is destined to become a serious collector's item of the future - not to mention the effect it would create when hung on the wall now [either vertically or horizontally].

NOTE: Please see other photos below - however, they cannot possibly do this wonderful piece any justice.

THE ARTIST:
Name: Damien marks Tjungala
Born: 1967
Place: Haast's Bluff
Region: Central Australia

Born in 1967 at Haasts Bluff, Damien and his family moved to Papunya where he was lucky enough to be taught to paint by world renowned artists Clifford Possum, Billy Stockman & Uta Uta. Damien is married to an equally talented artist Yilpi Marks Atira, who was born in 1969 at Ernabella. Together they have created some excellent joint works and featured in several successful exhibitions. Some of their amazing conjuctional pieces pay homage to the incomparable Clifford Possum painting style. Damien is also a respected solo artist in his own right has a natural ability to create significant and powerfully strong paintings. This strong compact offering is one such example.
