“As one of the younger of the early members of Papunya Tula Artists, George Tjungurrayi started painting in the dotted Tingari style he adopted under his seniors’ direction in 1976. The acrylic painting movement had yielded myriad possibilities for contemporary representations of Country; however, George Tjungurrayi pushed the painting technique further when, in the 1990s, he abandoned the practice of dotting altogether and developed intricate topographical maps that are reminiscent of Minimalism and Op Art. His precise, refined linework, meticulously applied in the same way as incising fine parallel lines in ceremonial woodcarving, is a stylistic innovation that remains influential in Western Desert Art.” (Vanessa Merlino and Luke Scholes, 60 over 50: 60 Paintings from 50 Years of Australian First Nations Art, 2023, p. 18)
