JamFactory present the 2021 JamFactory ICON Pepai Jangala Carroll. A painter and ceramic artist based in Pukatja and working from Ernabella Arts, Carroll is a Luritja/Pintupi man and the first Aboriginal artist to be celebrated in this series of exhibitions that launched in 2013.Carved sgraffito stoneware forms and canvases in muted tonal colours are characteristic of the artwork by Pepai Jangala Carroll. Committed to his custodial responsibilities of Luritja/Pintupi country, Pepai Carroll’s captivating paintings and ceramics merge his deep knowledge of country with his beautifully intricate yet minimalist style.The major subjects the artist returns to are Walungurru the sand-dune country of his Father’s Country, near Kintore in the Northern Territory – the paintings and ceramics of Walungurru feature Wanampi the water serpent; Ininti which refers in contour and colour range to the desert bean tree and its environment – the Ininti tree is prevalent in the Kintore region, and; Yumari a site located west of Walungurru, Yumari literally means mother in law in Luritja; and rocky country of Ilpili.
