Fire Dreaming at Wilkinkarra 1996

"Fire Dreaming at Wilkinkarra" is a 1996 painting by Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri. This piece exemplifies the vibrant style of Australian Aboriginal art, utilizing a bold color palette of reds, yellows, and browns. The artwork features a recurring motif of concentric circles, representative of waterholes, and a network of lines which signify the flowing of water. The layered lines create a sense of depth and movement, reflecting the artist's knowledge of the land and its significance to his culture. The title suggests the dreaming of a fire, perhaps an ancestral figure, that connects to the waterholes represented by the concentric circles.
