DJAKANGU YUNUPINGU • Djulpan - Heavenly Women

05-Apr-2024 - 03-May-2024
AK23258_crop.jpg

Alcaston Gallery is honoured to present new paintings on bark, timber board and larrkitj poles by Yolngu artist Djakangu Yunupingu in her second solo exhibition Djulpan - Heavenly Women at the Alcaston Gallery Exhibition Space – 84 William Street Melbourne from 5 April – 3 May 2024.

-

Djakangu Yunupingu’s celestial paintings depict the Yolngu poetic law of the Djulpan story; the story of the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades constellation, a cluster of stars that appears in the western sky above Arnhem Land during April.

Yunupingu's refined practice and exquisite sense of composition across larrakitj, bark, and timber board demonstrate both a continuation of a powerful family lineage, but also affirm her standing within the contemporary art context. 

Following her sell-out debut solo exhibition at Alcaston Gallery in 2023, Yunupingu was invited to present a prominent solo installation at the 2023 Tarnanthi, Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia in Adelaide.
