Walala Tjapaltjarri and his brothers Warlimpirringa and Thomas have become well known in the contemporary Indigenous Australian art world as the Tjapaltjarri Brothers. Walala and his family grew up living the traditional nomadic way of life in the Tanami Desert in Central Desert Australia.  Walala’s paintings depict “Tingari” – ancient Dreamtime ancestral spirits who traveled across the landscape performing ceremonies to create and shape the country associated with Dreaming sites, like rock holes and mountains. Walala’s style is identified by a repeated pattern of geometric squares and dots, using bright, uplifting colours to illustrate his sacred Country. Walala, along with his brothers Thomas and Warlimpirringa, have exhibited their paintings in many galleries in Australia and overseas.
