Durrmu Arts

Durrmu Arts Aboriginal Corporation is renowned for its fine, contemporary art production, including acrylic painting and fibre work. Senior artist Regina Pilawuk Wilson (winner, General Painting, Telstra National Indigenous Art Award 2003) leads a team of talented emerging and established artists including Hayden Wilson, Grace Dodson,, Annunciata Wilson, Anastasia Wilson, Anne-Carmel Wilson and Madeline Maloney.

Durrmu Arts Aboriginal Corporation was registered under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres-Strait Islander) Act 2006, in 2011. Prior to that, Durrmu Arts was part of the Peppimenarti Association.

Durrmu Arts is a member of the Indigenous Art Code and ANKAAA- the Association of Northern, Kimberley and Arnhem Aboriginal Artists.

The paintings of Peppimenarti are based upon traditional weaving and durrmu (dot body painting) designs. These are complemented by the women artists' premium pandanus and sand-palm fibre weaving work.

The women of Peppimenarti are traditionally weavers and have transposed their knowledge of fibre and textiles onto the canvas. The results are paintings of intricate, abstract mark-making; some clearly representing syaw (fishnet) and wupun (basket weaving) through their layered textures, whilst others resemble fine tapestries.
