Artist Profile
Painted for Mitchell Fine Art (formally known as Muk Muk Fine Art, NT), Catalogue #A4833 in 2006
Ronnie was born c. 1942 near Muyinnga, approximately 100km’s west of the Kintore ranges. His family travelled widely through the Pintupi lands, living a traditional nomadic life.
He was initiated into manhood in the early 1950’s at Yumari near his birthplace. Shortly afterwards, due to drought conditions in the 1950’s, Ronnie and his family moved towards Haasts Bluff and then later joined relatives at the newly settled Papunya community. Like many of his contemporaries, he found work as a fencer making the yards for cattle in the surrounding area.
It was during this time that he started to take an interest in the art movement at Papunya. Always wishing to move back to his traditional country, he eventually was able to do so when the Kintore settlement was established in 1981.
Always strongly affiliated with his country, Ronnie soon emerged as one of Papunya Tula’s major artists. The content of his works are indicative of his cultural beliefs and his artwork has enduringly reflected a purist style of Tingari Dreaming.
He is a major Australian Artist, and his work has featured in numerous exhibitions and collections around Australia. He has had solo exhibitions at the Utopia Gallery and the prestigious Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi. Several of his group exhibitions include the Dreamtime Gallery, The Australian National Gallery and the Art Gallery of South Australia. He is also in permanent collections at the National Gallery and the Art Gallery of Victoria and the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory.

Artwork Description
During the Tjukurrpa (Creation Era) Tingari ancestor beings gathered at a series of sites for Malliera (Initiation) Ceremonies. They travelled vast stretches of the country, performing rituals at specific sites that in turn created the diverse natural features of the environment (depicted here as circles). The Tingari men were accompanied by novices and usually followed by Tingari Women. The creation stories and rituals form the song cycles and ceremonies of today, used in part, for the teachings of the post initiatory youths, whilst also providing explanations for contemporary customs.
The secret knowledge connected with Tingari stories is traditionally revealed only to initiated Pintupi men in song cycles performed in ceremonies. The stories involve the journeys of ancestral beings as they travelled across the country creating landforms and establishing law. Because secret knowledge is hidden in Tingari paintings, only limited information can be shared with the uninitiated.
