Untitled 1989

Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri’s 1989 painting *Untitled* is a vibrant example of Australian Aboriginal art, featuring a bold, patterned style. The artwork utilizes concentric circles, a central motif of the artist’s work. It is set on a dark background and punctuated by a sinuous black and purple line representing a snake, which is common imagery in Aboriginal art and often represents the artist’s Dreaming or ancestral stories. The painting’s composition and use of color are reminiscent of traditional Indigenous sand paintings, which convey important cultural information and stories.
