About the Artist
Alison Larry Nungurrayi is a Luritja/Pintupi artist from the Western Desert region of Central Australia, with strong family and cultural connections to the communities of Kintore in the Northern Territory and Kiwirrkurra in Western Australia. She comes from a highly respected family of Aboriginal artists whose work has played an important role in the development of the Western Desert art movement.
Alison is the granddaughter of renowned artist Naata Nungurrayi, one of the most celebrated painters associated with the Papunya Tula art movement. Growing up surrounded by senior artists, Alison developed her understanding of painting and traditional cultural knowledge through years of observing and working alongside her grandmother, Naata Nungurrayi, and Naata's sister, Nancy Ross Nungurrayi.
Before establishing her own painting practice, Alison participated in collaborative community projects and cultural activities. She was also involved in initiatives to translate traditional Pintupi songs into English, reflecting her connection to the cultural knowledge and traditions of her people.
Alison began painting independently around 2009, drawing on the artistic traditions passed down through her family while developing her own distinctive contemporary style. Her paintings explore the ancestral stories, important women's sites, ceremonies and traditional knowledge associated with her Country.
Among the subjects she paints is Yumari, an important Dreaming site located west of Kintore in the Western Desert. This Country is associated with ancestral stories, distinctive rock formations and culturally significant sites. Alison has also painted Marapinti, a traditional rockhole site, along with broader interpretations of Country and women's ceremony.
Her paintings are recognised for their bold use of colour, intricate designs and strong sense of movement. Flowing lines, concentric circles, geometric forms and richly textured areas of dot work create dynamic compositions that reflect the landscapes and cultural stories of the Western Desert.
Alison frequently works with vibrant combinations of reds, oranges, yellows and contrasting colours, often building up generous layers of acrylic paint to give her artworks depth and texture. Although the influence of her grandmother's paintings can be seen in her work, Alison has developed an individual approach to colour, composition and design.
Her paintings have been exhibited in Australia and internationally, including in France, Belgium and the United States. Her work has also featured in exhibitions associated with Papunya Tula Artists, demonstrating her continuing involvement in the Western Desert painting tradition.
Through her art, Alison continues the cultural and artistic legacy of the senior Pintupi women who came before her, while creating a distinctive body of contemporary Aboriginal paintings that expresses her own connection to Country.
