Ningura Naparrula was born around 1938 in Watulka south of Kiwirkurra, Northern Territory. Ningura Napurrula is the widow of the famous Papunya artist Yala Yala Gibbs. Ningura was represented at the ARCO Art Fair 2002 in Spain and in the same year won the prestigious Alice Prize. Ningura Naparrula began painting in the 90s and with Naata Nungurrayi is one of the founders of the ‘Pintupi Painting Women’ movement from Kintore. Her most impressive work is large in size and often done in two colors (usually black and white or red and white). Her work stands out for its sharply executed patterns in which white dots form up a delicate linear game where the dark background shines through. This gives the illusion that the dark surface forms the upper layer of paint, which gives her paintings a spectacular perspective. She paints with a refinement and detail that is exceptional for Aboriginal Art and her finest work shows an unprecedented determination. Ningura is also a member of the Papunya Tula Artists collective. Since motifs from her work were included in the architecture of the in 2006 opened Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, her work is very popular worldwide.
