Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri was 25 years old and the eldest of the small group of 9 Pintupi people that included his younger brothers Walala and Thomas Tjapaltjarri, who walked into the newly established community of Kiwirrkura in 1984.

Like his brothers, Warlimpirrnga’s early works depicted segments of the Tingari cycle, The Dreamings, in the classic style. These undulating paintings were about men’s and women’s ceremonies, telling stories of the journeying of groups of spirit beings and novices across country, spirit beings who are believed to have created the land and all living things.

Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri is one of Central Australia’s most highly regarded Contemporary Indigenous Australian artists. Warlimpirrnga and his brothers Walala and Thomas have become well known in the Contemporary Indigenous Art world as the Tjapaltjarri Brothers
