Biography
Born 'in the bush’ near the present site of the Kiwirrkura community c.1925, Donkeyman Lee was a Kukatja speaker. His principal site is Walla Walla, just out of Kiwirrkura, and his paintings, which he began producing in 1985 at Balgo, are mainly Tingari stories for this area. Donkeyman usually worked on large-scale canvases and with these he managed to convey a sense of his desert country. His works, which are included in the National Gallery of Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria, are always bold and strong and full of his personal experiences of Men’s Law. They are also surprisingly innovative for an older man, and convey something of the easy-going good humour of the artist. He lived in Balgo and sold his paintings through Warlayirti Artists.
