Description
Warlukurlangu Jukurrpa Canvas Art Print – Bold, concentric circles make up the focal point of this clean and contemporary Indigenous Aboriginal artwork piece, and are surrounded by thick, branching songlines. By contrasting vivid blue tones with warm mustard and ochre elements, the artist has created a piece that is both considered, yet mesmerising. Urban Road is committed to investing a stream of ongoing financial support back into the Yuendumu and Nyirripi artist community. For every Warlukurlangu Jukurrpa artwork sold, a percentage of the sale price goes directly back to the artist. This Indigenous Aboriginal artwork depicts the Fire Country Dreaming, and belongs to Warlukurlangu country. It tells the story of the old man 'lungkarda' (centralian bluetongued lizard) who lived on a hill with his two Jangala sons. The old man, feigning blindness, would send his sons off hunting in search of meat, meanwhile he would hunt and indulge in the spoils while they were away. One day, his sons returned from a long hunt with a kangaroo – an animal that they did not know was sacred to the old man. Incredibly angry, the old man decided to punish his sons, so when they next went out to hunt, he put his fire stick to the ground and sent an enormous bush fire after them, chasing them for many miles. As hard as they tried to escape and beat out the flames, the old man's sacred magic kept the fire alive, eventually overcoming the exhausted boys. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, particular sites, and other elements. Usually, sites that are depicted in paintings of this Jukurrpa include Warlukurlangu (a men's cave), Kirrkirrmanu (where the sacred kangaroo was killed), Wayililinypa (where the fire killed the two Jangala sons), and Marnimarnu (a water soakage) where the two Jangalas camped. Bring the richness of Indigenous Aboriginal culture and timeless storytelling traditions into your home with this intricately painted and breathtaking artwork.

STRETCHED CANVAS Urban Road's stretched canvas fine art prints are professionally printed on polycotton artist canvas, using archival inks and then stretched and gallery wrapped. This means the image is stretched around a 38mm frame to create a seamless, museum-quality finish. All stretched and box framed art prints arrive ready to hang. SHADOW BOX FRAMES We also offer the option to add a shadow box frame to your Urban Road canvas art print. A little different from a traditional framed print, the canvas sits within the box frame with a 5mm gap, creating a sophisticated shadow effect between the frame and the canvas. Our solid timber box frame mouldings are 10mm wide, and 55mm deep, and add approximately 40mm to the length and height of the listed canvas size. ROLLED CANVAS ART At Urban Road, we also offer you the option to purchase your canvas art print unframed to allow you to have it framed your own way. As with our stretched and box framed canvas products, our rolled canvas prints are professionally printed on durable, museum-quality, matte coated polycotton canvas and made to order. Our rolled canvas products are printed to the listed stretched size, and come with an additional 45mm mirrored edge plus another 60mm white border to allow for gallery wrapping.
