For a large part of his life, Jackie Kurltjunyintja Giles Tjapaltjarri (ca 1935-2010) led a nomadic existence, travelling across large tracts of and later spending time in small communities in Australia's vast Western Desert region. Jackie Giles was renowned as a man of great erudition and a powerful healer, Maparnjarra in his native Ngaanyatjarra language. The powers of these traditional healers include the gift of seeing into the bodies and even the spirits of others. In the 1990s, Jackie Giles started painting with acrylic on canvas. Mr Giles, as he was often called, combined an intimate knowledge of his land with his own oneiric visions to build what became a significant personal oeuvre.

L'art de Jackie Giles : un pont entre cosmologie aborigène et monde moderne. Ses peintures dévoilent la profondeur du Rêve et la sagesse d'un guérisseur. Pendant une grande partie de sa vie, Jackie Kurltjunyintja Giles Tjapaltjarri (vers 1935-2010) a mené une existence nomade, au cours de laquelle il a parcouru de vastes étendues de terre et, plus tard, passé du temps dans de petites communautés de la vaste région désertique occidentale de l'Australie.Jackie Giles était réputé en tant qu'homme d'un haut degré d'initiation et que guérisseur, maparnjarra dans sa langue, le ngaanyatjarra. Les pouvoirs de ces guérisseurs traditionnels incluent le don de voir dans le corps et même dans l'esprit des autres. Dans les années 1990, Jackie Giles a commencé à peindre à l'acrylique sur toile. Une connaissance complexe de sa terre et des histoires de rêve qui lui sont associées a inspiré "Mr.Giles" , comme on l'appelait souvent, dans sa création d'un important corpus de peintures célébrant le Tjukurpa, ou Rêve, qui imprègne le pays et constitue la pierre angulaire de son identité culturelle. Sa technique graphique complexe donne lieu à des images dynamiques et rythmées, dominées par des motifs labyrinthiques et des formes monumentales, qui suggèrent le sens plus profond du sujet hautement secret et sacré du Rêve.Son oeuvre puissante, caractérisée par des compositions intenses et saisissantes, relie deux mondes ; la cosmologie ngaanyatjarra et le monde moderne en rapide évolution. - Jackie Kurltjunyintja Giles (vers 1935-2010) a commencé à peindre à l'acrylique sur toile dans les années 1990, traduisant ainsi ses connaissances traditionnelles en art contemporain. - L'oeuvre de Jackie Giles témoigne de la richesse de la culture aborigène et de sa capacité à s'adapter au monde contemporain.- Son style graphique complexe et dynamique se caractérise par des motifs labyrinthiques et des formes monumentales suggérant le caractère sacré du Rêve.…
