Rex Winifred

Rex Winifred, an Indigenous artist from Rittarangu, located on the Urapunga Aboriginal Land Trust between the Wilton and Roper Rivers in Australia's Northern Territory, creates intricate linocuts that reflect deep cultural connections to ancestral beings. This remote region, historically home to the Ngalakgan Aboriginal people, is known for its rich traditions, though many today speak Arnhem Kriol. Winifred's work prominently features themes like Baru, the Crocodile, which fellow artist Sambo Burra Burra describes as having 'fire in his eyes.' His art captures the powerful spiritual significance of the land and its creatures.
