Geoffrey Bardon, the idealistic schoolteacher driving in his Combi to the western desert of Papunya in 1971, has become folkloric in the history of Australian art. The story of those early artists and Bardon can almost be said to have taken on the characteristics of a dreaming.

This exhibition is inspired by the early boards created by Kappa Tjampitjinpa, Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri, Uta Uta Tjang ala, Anatjari Tjakamarra and others, under the auspices of Bardon's residency at Papunya Tula.

Chapman Gallery presents a selection of recent paintings from Papunya Tula Artists all measuring 91 x 61 centimetres. Echoing the original boards diminutive size, they are powerful expressions of the exceptionally strong painting tradition at Kintore and Kiwirrkurra, which continues today.

Featuring the work of the following artists, this is a wonderful opportunity to have a little piece of the western desert.
