Lake Amadeus (2007) by Vincent Forrester Muntjantji 152x122cm Cat 13123VF

In this painting, Vincent depicts Lake Amadeus from the Aerial perspective.

The dreaming story used to explain Lake Amadeus’ actual formation, as a Salt Lake in the middle of the desert, is that during the creation period an ancestral Kangaroo’s urine made marks in the ground.

HIghly prized red ochre that is collected by his aunties who are the custodians of a sacred mountain known as Karku is used along with blue acrylic paint.
