George
(Ward) Tjungurrayi, born in 1945, is a Pintupi elder who lives
and works between Kintore, Kiwirrkura and Warakuna. Like many
senior artists he began painting in the mid 1970s for Papunya
Tula. With distinctive linear patterning Tjungurrayi still focuses
largely on Tingari stories associated with male initiation and
creation stories. Other subjects include Snake, Native Cat and
stories associated with Lake MacDonald. In 2004 he won the Wynne
Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
