Wanapati Yunupiŋu’s paintings are multilayered, mapping intergenerational knowledge of fire and water and the way these elements are understood and used together. Hidden within the metal geographies of his work, animals of land and sea move across their landscape.

Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre is the Indigenous community controlled art centre of Northeast Arnhem Land located in Yirrkala, a small Aboriginal community, approximately 700km east of Darwin. In 2022, Yunupiŋu’s presentation was exhibited in collaboration with Tolarno Galleries.
