Jack is one of the most senior and important artists of Papunya involved with the early Aboriginal art movement in 1971 and has painted continuously since that time.

Long Jack Phillipus grew up in the bush west of Mt Farewell and came into Haasts Bluff settlement with his whole family as a teenager. He worked at Haasts Bluffas a timber contractor and stockman and married  Georgette Napaltjarri. They have two sons, three daughters and many grandchildren. Long Jack has been part of the Papunya painting movement since the beginning of the '70s when he was a Councillor at Papunya. It was Long Jack, together with Billy STOCKMAN, who was also a school yardman at the time, they offered their help with painting the murals around the Papunya school, which preceded the large Honey Ant mural. Long Jack has painted intermittently since those times, taking out the Australian North Territory Golden Jubilee Art Award in 1983 and the Alice Springs Art Prize in 1984.

In 1984 Long Jack Phillipus was ordained as a Lutheran pastor. Of the Warlpiri / Luritja language group, Long Jack's paintings depict Hare, Wallaby, Kingfisher, Dingo and other Dreamings in the Mt Singleton area. He lives in Papunya and remains close to his 'brother', Michael NELSON, with whom his family camped  Haasts Bluff in the early years before the Papunya settlement. His younger sister, Pauline WOODS, is a well-known Western Desert artist currently working out of Alice Springs.

Jack Phillipus paints an important Water Rain Dreaming. Western Desert Water Dreaming painting has the physical presence of much contemporary work of art.  It  was a moment in the history of art when a painting practice emerged at Papunya in Central Australia. Jack is one of the most senior and important artists of Papunya involved with the early Aboriginal art movement in 1971 and has painted continuously since that time.

Jack Phillipus owns Dreaming Water-Rain is a site north-east of Kintore. Jack Phillipus father, who was Warlpiri, came from Parikurlangu to the north of Kalimpinpa and his mother, who was of mixed Warlpiri/Luritja descent, also came from Kalimpinpa.  

NGV Symposium – 'Tjukurrtjanu: Origins of Western Desert Art give prominence to 200 of the first paintings produced at Papunya between 1971 and 1972 and also establishes the vital connection between the works of art and their sources in ephemeral designs made for use in ceremony.

Many of the artists who started the Aboriginal art movement like Billy Stockman, Long Jack Phillipus are old or have passed away and the younger generation is learning western customs. Today Aboriginal Australians live and work around the world, from Papunya to London, from Arnhem Land to New York.  Thus it is the last chance that anyone on this planet can acquire an authentic painting with impeccable provenance by one of the important artists.

The value placed on works of art will differ from the critical value placed on the same work. Individual works of art are traded at individual prices in the prevailing art collector’s opinion. Other elements seemingly unrelated to the work can affect the value. By all means shop around, compare prices, which you will see fluctuate widely and vary from item to item as subject and quality alter price by significant factor. However, too great preoccupation with price can be counter-productive. A weakness for buying bargains can be one of the worst faults that afflict a collector.

We recommend purchasing what you love, the best you can afford and the best quality artwork of an artist you admire. We recognize the importance of a buyer confidence in purchasing an authentic original work of art and we sell items only of impeccable provenance and quality - contact us. Galeria Aniela specializes in selling top-quality art by renowned artists to a world wide buyer base. We combine art and financial expertise. Our people focused approach ensures an enjoyable and a rewarding experience.
