Nyapanyapa Yunupingu

Nyapanyapa Yunupingu was an Australian Yolngu painter and printmaker who lived and worked in the community at Yirrkala, Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory.

Her work is renowned for its continuously evolving style, increasing in complexity and often, scale, over time. Due to this departure from tradition within her oeuvre, Yunupingu's work had varying receptions from within her community and the broader art world.
