About the artist
SHORTY JANGALA ROBERTSON
Shorty Jangala Robertson was born at Jila (Chilla Well), a large soakage and claypan north west of
Yuendumu. He lived a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle with his parents, older brother and extended
Warlpiri family. They travelled vast distances across desert country, passing through Warlukurlangu,
south west of Jila and Ngarlikurlangu, north of Yuendumu, visiting Jangala’s, his skin brothers.
He finally settled at Yuendumu in 1967 after the Australian Citizen Referendum. It is extraordinary in
all his travels and jobs over his whole working life, that he escaped the burgeoning and flourishing
Central Desert art movement of the 1970’s and 1980’s. Thus Shorty’s paintings are fresh, vigorous
and new. His use of colour to paint and interpret his dreamings of Ngapa (Water), Watiyawarnu
(Acacia), Yankirri (Emu) and Pamapardu (Flying Ant) is vital, yet upholding the Warlpiri tradition. This
fledgling artist well in his 70’s is an active member of Warlukurlangu Co-operative. He lives at
Yuendumu with his wife and artist Lady Nungarrayi Robertson.
Shorty Jangala Robertson has been exhibiting artwork since 2002 throughout Australia & around the
world. His first solo exhibition at Alcaston Gallery in 2003 was met with great artistic acclaim and his
works are featured in several major collections.
