Biography -
Thompson Nganjmirra started painting as a young man and he has developed a refined and balanced linework style that flows from his mastery of manyilk (the traditional sedge brush) and his instinctive compositional sense. Marrying his skills in art and guiding tours through Arnhem Land, Thomspon depicts the Kunwinjku natural world and its stories with fidelity and meticulous skill. From an artistic family, he is the son of Jimmy Nakurrudjilmi Nganjmirra and brother of Robin Nganjmirra. His mother is Mary Nganjmirra.
