Artist painting from Irrunytju Community which is a small Indigenous Australian community in Western Australia located about 1,700 kilometres (1,056 mi) east of Perth near the Western Australian-South Australian border in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. The community was established in the 1980s and was composed mainly of people from the Warburton mission. These people still have spiritual and ancestral ties to many parts of the region. Like other communities in the area, many came from South Australia because of rocket testing at Woomera.
The artists of the Irrunytju community currently exhibiting are known for producing vibrant and colourful canvases which depict a variety of tjukurpa, heavily related to the landscape of the surrounding country and its history.
