Bio
Peter Taylor Tjutjatja was born c. 1940 at Oodnadatta, south-east of Alice Springs, in the Simpson Desert. As a small boy he travelled with his father often by camel or horse, to Horseshoe Bend Station, where his father worked as a station-hand. From there they travelled north working from station to station until they came to Hermannsburg, a Western "Arrernte - also known as Aranda and Arrarnta (pronounced UH-rrahn-da). The Arrernte are Aboriginal people who are the original custodians of Arrernte lands in the regions around Alice Springs in central Australia. The Arrernte people are identified, depending which parts of their "country" they belong to Arrernte community in the MacDonnell Ranges, west of Alice Springs.
Hermannsburg in central Australia is the homeland of Albert Namatjira - the most famous Aboriginal painter of all time. Peter, as a small boy living in Hermannsburg was influenced by Albert Namatjira's central desert landscapes. While attending school in Adelaide, Peter showed an interest in drawing and his skills were further developed by his art teacher Trevor Clare.
Peter attended an exhibition of Albert Namatjira in Adelaide, which made him very homesick for his old beloved homeland. Peter returned to Alice Springs in his twenties, where he sat with Keith Namatjira and Clem Abbott to paint landscapes in watercolours at 86 Todd Street, Alice Springs, which was later purchased in 1995 by Peter's tribal group Pwerte Marnte Marnte.
Peter Taylor Tjutjatja landscape watercolours are sought after by collectors world-wide. Peter was commissioned by Princess Anne to paint five landscapes of Central Australia.
Sadly in November 2014 Peter was involved in a car accident and tragically passed away.
