Acrylic artworks are shipped on canvas or linen un-stretched, rolled up in a cardboard tube unless stated otherwise.

This can be done by nearly any picture framer (highly recommended) or you can DIY if you’re confident in your handiwork.

There are numerous "how to" videos on YouTube showing you how to achieve this.

Artist Profile

Sarrita King was born in Adelaide, South Australia on the 5th March 1988.  She is the younger sister to fellow artist, Tarisse King and daughter to the late highly regarded artist, William King Jungala (1966 – 2007).

Sarrita inherits her Australian Aboriginality from her father who was part of the Gurindji tribe from the Northern Territory.  The Gurindji tribe came to public attention during the 1960s and 1970s when members employed by the Wave Hill cattle station led a landmark case which became the first successful land rights claim in Australia.  It is this same strong sense of self and pride that Sarrita embodies and it fuels her drive to paint her totemic landscape.

Sarrita spent most of her youth growing up in Darwin in the Northern Territory, not far from where her ancestors inhabited and it is here that her connection to her Aboriginality and subsequently the land was able to grow.  Her exposure to the imperious weather and extreme landscape has provided the theme for her works of art, since she began painting at age 16.  Rolling sand hills, cracking lightning and thunderstorms, torrential rain, fire, desert and tangled bush are all scathing environmental factors that shaped her forefather’s lives and also her own. Depicting these elements in her paintings, Sarrita provides a visual articulation of the earth’s language.

Stylistically, Sarrita utilises traditional Aboriginal techniques such as ‘dotting’ but also incorporates unorthodox techniques inherited from her late father, as well as self-developed practices.  Her art is a fusion of the past, present and future and represents the next generation of artists who have been influenced by both their indigenous history, and current Western upbringing.  Sarrita creates frenetic energy on the canvas with her Lightning series and searing heat with her Fire series.  Her artwork has a universal appeal and provides an entry point for people to experience the power and uniqueness of the Australian landscape and its harsh climate. On a world scale, her depictions couldn’t be more seasonable and well-timed.

Sarrita has been included in over 30 exhibitions, is represented in galleries in every Australian state, included in many high profile Australian and international art collections and been auctioned several times successfully through Paris’ Art Curial Auction house.

After 3 years living and painting in Canberra, Sarrita and her husband returned back to Darwin in 2017 where she spent most of her childhood and welcomed their first child Steele. In late 2018, her second son Grange was born. At only 30, Sarrita King has many personal achievements but it is her desire to visually communicate her inspiration and the land, which keeps her ancestral narrative alive and provides a new way of looking back while looking forward.

Artwork Description

This painting depicts the first rains on the Gurindji lands after the long dry Season.

Rain and the storms are some of Sarrita’s earliest memories. In this painting Sarrita remembers how much rain falls in the wet season and the massive changes to the landscape. The land and water ways rejuvenate whilst the flora comes to life and creates a beautiful and deeply coloured scene as far as the eye can see.
