CHARLES JANGALA INKAMALA SELECTED AS A FINALIST IN THE WYNNE PRIZE

We’re thrilled to announce that Charles Jangala Inkamala has been selected as a finalist in the 2O25 Wynne prize with his work West side Hermannsburg (Ntaria).

The Sulman Prize is awarded for the best subject painting, genre painting or mural project by an Australian artist.

Charles Jangala Inkamala has depicted an important cultural site found towards the western part of Tjoritja/MacDonnell Ranges, near Mparntwe/Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. This is his father’s Country and a place where he has spent considerable time learning the land: how the rocks are layered, how the trees grow and how the light shifts and changes colours across the divide. For Inkamala, this site has deep cultural significance as it has been shaped by ancient forces embedded in the landscape that teach Arrernte people law and stories today. He encourages viewers to feel the strength and spirit of this place.

This is Charles’s first time as a finalist in the Wynne Prize.
