Ronnie is an initiated Pintupi man born at Muyinnga approx 100 klms west of the Kintore Range. His family had departed their traditional homelands for Haasts Bluff (Ikuntji) south west of Papunya where they settled. Ronnie and his younger brother had gone to Yuendemu near the Tanami Desert but reunited with the family at Papunya where he was one of the youngest artists at the very beginning of the Western Desert Aboriginal art movement in the early 1970s under the guidance of Geoffrey Bardon. Ronnie was a founding member of the now internationally famous Papunya Tula Artists.
This painting is a fine example of his influence as one of Papunya Tula’s major artists and is representative of his “pioneering, bold, scaled-up and linear style” (a) from the 1990’s that gained international attention. Its origins lie in dot painting that involves the repetition of a loaded brush pulled linearly on the canvas to form his desired motifs, in this case geometric,
This painting compares and contrasts with another master-work by Ronnie within Pandanus Gallery painted a few years later titled “Water Dreaming”. Refer
