About Julie Nangala Robertson
Julie Nangala Robertson was born in Yuendumu Community in 1973 and is the daughter of well known and award winning artist Dorothy Napangardi (sadly passed away in 2013). Since the late 1990's Julie has pursued and developed a creative visual language of her own often in the company and support of her mother. Julie paints with Warlukurlangu Artists an Aboriginal art centre based in Yuendumu and Central Art is excited to be able to host and showcase their artists. Usually an aerial perspective along with a more recently and established distinctive monochromatic palette, Julie’s current paintings (which depict the topographical features of her traditional country at the site of Pirlinyanu) have become works of extraordinary optical brilliance as she alternates the size of dots throughout her work as well as building up specific shapes or reference points often repeated with overdotting. *** WINNER of the General Painting Award in the 2023 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards ***
