Kenny Williams Tjampitjinpa often depicts his tribal country around the area of Kiwirrkura. He paints with delicate yet mesmerising lines to delineate his country and its mythological significance. The subtle and luminous impact of his works is underscored by a traditional palette of the earth.
Kenny Williams Tjampitjinpa, son of the artist Naata Nungurrayi was born near Kiwirrkura. The family lived at first a nomadic existence in the region of Wilkinkarra and was brought in 1963 to Papunya by a government patrol in 1963, as part of a government program to put Aborigines in reservations.
He moved to Balgo Hills the northern edge of the Great Sandy Desert during the 1970s together with a group of Pintupi people, but eventually returned to Papunya, then in 1981 and then, with his older brother Ronnie Tjampitjinpa, moved again north to Walungurru then transferred to Intinti outstation, west of Kintore. In 1988 he started to paint for Papunya Tula Artists and in 2000 Kenny was awarded the Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award.
Kenny Williams Tjampitjinpa participated in the exhibition Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius, held at Sydney’s Art Gallery of New South Wales in 2000. In 2001 he exhibited in Aborigena at the Palazzo Bricherasio, Turin, Italy.
