Artist: Hubert Pareroultja

hey,

Born in Hermannsburg, Alice Springs in 1952, Hubert is another member of the water colour movement in the Aboriginal Art world. He was born in the same lands as Albert Namatjira where we would watch him draw as a young boy. It was his father Reuben Pareroultja, and uncles Otto and Edwin that were part of the original water colour movement that inspired him the draw in this particular style and would draw iconic features of his land. Personally, I like his style of drawings as they seem a little more abstract than other famous artists and in the image below, how he shows the gradient of colours as bold colours, apposed to blending them in.
