Biography
Dick Pantimas’ country was Yippa, north of Sandy Blight Junction, near NT/WA border. Like his older brother Johnny Warangkula , his Kalipinypa (Water) Dreaming was often the subject of his paintings when he began painting for Papunya Tula Artists in the late ’70s. Dick was a close observer of the older artists for many years before beginning to paint himself. He was a close friend of Ray Inkamala . Until his unfortunate death in 1983, the artist was one of the most promising of the second generation of painters which began to emerge in Papunya in the early ’80s. He was survived by his wife Wendy and their several children. In 1990 the central Water Dreaming iconograph from one of his paintings was used as the design for a mosaic in the new Alice Springs Airport.
