Urban Road Mina Mina Jukurrpa IV Canvas Art Print

Mina Mina Jukurrpa IV Canvas Art Print - Endless trails of sinuous lines and dots, curving and winding, make up this beautifully intricate Indigenous Aboriginal artwork in a warm, rich colour palette red, yellow, ochre and peach. Urban Road is committed to investing a stream of ongoing financial support back into the Yuendumu and Nyirripi artist community. For every Mina Mina Jukurrpa IV artwork sold, a percentage of the sale price goes directly back to the artist. This Indigenous Aboriginal artwork depicts the story of the women that danced in celebrations of the 'mulju' (Summer rains) at the Mina Mina, a very important women's Dreaming site in the Northern Territory of Australia, while collecting 'karlangu' (digging sticks). Their journey took them to far lands across the Northern Territory - from the west to the east of Yuendumu - creating many places as they went, while dancing, digging and collecting many ceremonial elements, such as 'parraja' carrying vessels made from 'ngalyipi', the snake vine that grows on the desert oak tree known as 'kurrkara'. The Napangardi women embraced the opportunity to be with one another, and when they stopped, they delighted in bush tucker from the area, like the delicious desert truffle 'jintiparnta'. The Dreaming track eventually took them far beyond Warlpiri country, into Queensland. In Warlpiri paintings, traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa and other elements. In many paintings of this Jukurrpa, sinuous lines are used to represent the 'ngalyipi' (snake vine). Concentric circles are often used to represent the 'jintiparnta' (desert truffles) that the women have collected, while straight lines can be used to depict the 'karlangu' (digging sticks). Be inspired by uniquely breathtaking Indigenous Aboriginal Art and vibrant retellings of the Dreamtime, and bring this stunning artwork into your home today.

STRETCHED CANVAS Urban Road's stretched canvas fine art prints are professionally printed on polycotton artist canvas, using archival inks and then stretched and gallery wrapped. This means the image is stretched around a 38mm frame to create a seamless, museum-quality finish. All stretched and box framed art prints arrive ready to hang. SHADOW BOX FRAMES We also offer the option to add a shadow box frame to your Urban Road canvas art print. A little different from a traditional framed print, the canvas sits within the box frame with a 5mm gap, creating a sophisticated shadow effect between the frame and the canvas. Our solid timber box frame mouldings are 10mm wide, and 55mm deep, and add approximately 40mm to the length and height of the listed canvas size. ROLLED CANVAS ART At Urban Road, we also offer you the option to purchase your canvas art print unframed to allow you to have it framed your own way. As with our stretched and box framed canvas products, our rolled canvas prints are professionally printed on durable, museum-quality, matte coated polycotton canvas and made to order. Our rolled canvas products are printed to the listed stretched size, and come with an additional 45mm mirrored edge plus another 60mm white border to allow for gallery wrapping.
