Emrhan Tjapanangka Sultan

Western Arrarnta, Luritja, Kokatha

Emrhan Tjapanangka Sultan is from the Western Arrarnta and Luritja people in Central Australia, and Kokatha people in South Australia. Tjapanangka is strongly connected to his cultural values and was taught, and given permission from his Elders, to paint the traditional style of the Western and Central Desert art from an early age.

In recent years Tjapanangka has been exploring different mediums, in particular digital designs and different colour pallets, and the blending of old and new techniques where traditional meets contemporary. This is a celebration of Tjapanangka's artistic expression.

In 2022, he helped found Solid Lines, a First Nations agency dedicated to representing First Nations illustrators. In 2023, Solid Lines took home the top Indigenous Design Award at the Good Design Awards.

The word ‘mukulri’ is from the Western Arrarnta and Luritja languages that means 'really good' or 'deadly', the latter being a word used by many Aboriginal people to mean excellent, pretend, or very good.

I also work as a consultant, helping non-Aboriginal organisations and companies develop their own First Nations strategic documents like a statement of commitment and action plans that help guide on positive outcomes for the clients and First Nations people.
