Wanapati Yunupiŋu is an artist that has been on this writer’s radar since the 2022 Melbourne Art Fair, and his works just seem to get better every time. The Yolŋu artist is instantly recognisable with meticulous etching designs from his Gumatj clan on found metal surfaces, such as road signs.
Yunupiŋu inherited ceremonial practices from his late father, Miniyawany Yunupiŋu, who is also an artist and spiritual leader.
