At around 79 years of age, senior Warlpiri artist, Lorna Napurrula Fencer, is producing some of the best and most exciting work of her career. Represented in the National Gallery, State Galleries and major private collections, Lorna’s work has always been in strong demand, but recently she seems to have found a new freedom and joy of expression that actually radiates from her stunning canvasses.
Japingka Gallery is honoured to have the opportunity to present this remarkable body of new work by this exceptional artist to the West Australian public in this, only her second ever W.A. solo exhibition. We strongly believe Lorna to be a very important and pivotal artist to the Indigenous Fine Art Movement. We would rate Lorna in the top 5 of living Indigenous fine artists. This exhibition of unique, beautiful paintings and Dreamings is not to be missed.
