Archibald-winning artist Vincent Namatjira this week completed his largest work to date: a 14m by 9m mural on the foyer wall of the Museum of Contemporary Art | Engalvo

It has been a long time coming - nearly two COVID-interrupted years - but a significant piece of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara lands has finally arrived in downtown Sydney, and artist Vincent Namatjira couldn’t be happier.

“I’m trying to bring my neck of the woods to the city, to the Big Smoke, for everyone to see,” said Namatjira, winner of last year’s Archibald Prize.Louise Kennerley Namatjira worked on the piece for two weeks with Eric Barney, a fellow artist from the Iwantja Arts in their home community of Indulkanab 400km south of Alice Springs, completing it late on Wednesday afternoon.
