Ntaria by Charles Jangala Inkamala
Charles Jangala Inkamala was born in 1968. His mother’s country is Papunya and his father’s county; Ntaria (Hermannsburg). Charles lives in Mparntwe (Alice Springs) and began painting with Bindi Mwerre Anthurre Artists in 2017.
He paints significant cultural sites such as Mt Sonder and Glen Helen Gorge in stylised detail. Charles meditates on his home country as he paints and imbues his work with strong knowledge of and connection to land. His intricate line work captures the multitude of directions of the rock layers in this ancient land and conjures strong impressions of the shaping of this country.
Prior to painting at Bindi, Charles primarily worked with graphite and coloured pencil, coloured markers and ball point pen. Since 2022 Charles has been working in the medium of ceramics with some considerable success.
