Ronnie Tjampitjinpa
Sold Paintings
DOB: 1943 – June 2023
BORN: Tjiturrunya, Kintore, NT
LANGUAGE GROUP: Pintupi
COMMUNITY: Kintore
Ronnie Tjampitjinpa pioneered a distinctive abstraction that scaled up the iconographic form of the early Papunya painters, creating a much bolder and more dramatic linear style that came to be widely adopted by many of the Pintupi painters. (Vivien Johnson, Lives of the Papunya Tula Artists, IAD Press, Alice Springs, 2008, p. 96-8). The essential artistic vocabulary was expressed in the abstraction of simplified geometries of squares, circles and lines that were typical of designs used ceremonially for body painting, sand sculpture and carved ritual objects in the sacred men’s Tingari Ceremony. These simplifications had, in various ways, been prefigured in the work of older artists Anatjari Tjampitjinpa, Dini Campbell Tjampitjinpa, Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula and Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri.
Tjampitjinpa birthplace was in country located around Muyin, West of the Kintore ranges and near to the Western Australian border and grew up living the nomadic life of his desert forefathers. He travelled extensively throughout Pintupi lands and those around Lake Mackay (Wilkinkarra). His uncle was Papunya painter Uta Uta Tjangala. He arrived at Papunya in 1956 along with others members of his Pintupi family.
During the early years at Papunya, Tjampitjinpa worked intermittently with the painting group and was one of the youngest painters and original shareholders of the Papunya Tula Cooperative and only painted a few boards. His return to an outstation at Kintore on his homelands in 1980s, which he had tried tirelessly to establish marked the turning point in his career and he decision to paint seriously for Papunya Tula. He won the Alice Springs Art Prize in 1988. Over the following years Tjampitjinpa became one of their most successful artists. His subjects came from stories associated with Yintjintjim his most important site and others with Kalipinypa, the Water Dreaming site of his grandfather. Porcupine Dreaming (Echidna) is also important. Tjampitjinpa was a one time Chairman of the Kintore Outstation Council and a political activist in the land title claim for Ininti. He divided his time between Kintore and Alice Springs, where he worked independently for private dealers.
