Tupun Wultatinyeri Ngarrindjeri/Kukabrak people
Tupun Wultatinyeri is a Ngarrindjeri/Kukabrak artist born in Adelaide, raised in the Riverland of South Australia who creates topographical landscapes of his country. It is important for Tupun Wultatinyeri to reclaim and share his culture through his art practice.
Tupun Wultatinyeri began painting in November of 2022 as a way of trying to find peace and found it successful. Today, he continues to use acrylic paint on canvas to escape from everything that drags him down. He favours greens, blues and yellows in his works because they remind him of the vegetation, waters and sands back home.
Tupun Wultatinyeri has exhibited in 2023 MARRA-NARRAP LAKORRA: UNDER BLUE SKIES at the Ballarat Post Office Gallery, Confined 14 (2023) and 15 (2024) at the Glen Eira City Council Gallery. He designed and painted two murals at the Hurstbridge Therapeutic Farm in 2024 and won the 2024 G4S Acquisitive award for overall excellence.
