Wally Wilfred

Since 2003, artist Wally Wilfred has been associated with Ngukurr Art Centre, developing a unique style that brings together traditional techniques with bold and contemporary use of colour. Continuing in the footsteps of his grandfather Sambo (Djambo) Barra Barra, Wally�s work explores traditional and present day culture with history and storytelling.

More recently Wally has been developing his skills as a sculptor working with wood and found objects. Wally�s sculptures continue in the same trajectory as his paintings. They tell story�s, sometimes-about culture, sometimes about the effect the�Munanga�(white fella) have had on his people and country.
