SIGNIFICANT 2024 | ALEC MINGELMANGANU, Wanjina, circa 1980 | Melbourne Exhibition

Recognised as an outstanding painter of Wanjina figures since 1975, Alec Mingelmanganu was among the first artists of the Kimberley to continue the tradition on canvas after he was introduced to the medium in 1979. Wanjina beings, along with the Rainbow Serpent, were among the more important supreme beings who inhabited the cosmological world of the First Nations peoples of the north and central-Kimberley.
We look forward to sharing this work, alongside other highlights, with you at SIGNIFICANT, now on view in Melbourne.
