Djakaŋu Yunupiŋu: Djulpan – Heavenly Women

April 5 - May 3

Djakaŋu Yunupiŋu, Tears of the Djulpan (detail), 2023. Natural earth pigments on bark, 198 x 112cm. Courtesy: the artist, Buku-Larrnggay Mulka and Alcaston Gallery, Melbourne.

Djakaŋu Yunupiŋu’s celestial paintings depict the Yolŋu poetic law of the Djulpan; the story of the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades constellation, a cluster of stars that appears in the western sky above Arnhem Land during April.

Yunupiŋu’s refined practice and exquisite sense of composition across larrakitj, bark, and timber board demonstrate both a continuation of a powerful family lineage, but also affirm her own standing within the contemporary art context.

Following a sell-out debut solo exhibition at Alcaston Gallery in 2023 and prominent solo installation at the 2023 Tarnanthi – Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art at the Art Gallery of South Australia in Adelaide, Yunupiŋu presents her second solo exhibition, Djulpan – Heavenly Women at the Alcaston Gallery Exhibition Space.

Opening Event: Saturday 13 April, 11am – 3pm, including an artist talk at 2pm.
