Water Dreaming

Story

Rings of black and white dots spiral and loop across a surface of ochre, tan, and mauve, with winding lines threading between the circular forms, suggesting the movement of water across land. The composition is built in acrylic on canvas. Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrula (1925–2001) was an Australian First Nation painter whose work Water Dreaming reflects this layered dotting technique and earthy palette.

Where it works

Warm-toned artwork suited to living rooms and dining rooms, and to hotel guest rooms, in a vertical format.
