The King Sisters

Posted by Central Art Aboriginal Art Store | 17.02.09

Who are the King sisters? ... Well these two young Aboriginal women will be part of a new generation of Aboriginal artists. They will be an inspiration to other emerging young artists and will change the way artists process their work.

Like the Williams sisters who stand on the tennis arena Sarrita and Tarisse will go to the forefront of contemporary Aboriginal art. It is their goal to interpret the Dreamings and culture of their people in new and interesting ways. Their works are visually interesting to admire, using colours and different techniques of application each work is unique. While these young women use their painting as an escape from the world in which they live, it is hopeful that a new movement will be born.

Sarrita and Tarisse are second generation painters, their inspiration and encouragement to paint came from their father William King Jungala whose paintings depicted the physical elements of his land and country. Sarrita and Tarisse have created brilliant works which add their own personal feelings and ideas stemming from their fathers teachings. Unfortunately in 2007 William King Jungala passed away suddenly, Central Art was very privileged to have known and worked with William and during 2007 were able to complete several audio interviews with him.
