It’s rare to step into an exhibition and feel bowled over, but this was the case with Nyapanyapa Yunupingu’s exhibition,
The Little Things, at Roslyn Oxley9. Over the past decade Nyapanyapa has been a shooting star in the Indigenous art firmament but with this body of work she has moved onto another plane.
It’s tempting to avoid the “Indigenous” label because, taken purely as an collection of paintings, this show would be a stand-out in any gallery anywhere in the world. To call this work “Indigenous art” might be seen as a way of putting it into a pigeonhole and thereby limiting its impact. Yet it could also be argued that for any discussion of Nyapanyapa’s art it’s vital to understand her identity as a Yolngu woman who has spent her entire life within a particular community.
