Biography
Born 'in the bush’ in the area near Percival Lakes c.1930, David Hall lived at Mulan. A Kukatja speaker, his traditional country was Kutarta, south-west of Balgo. He began painting for Warlayirti Artists in 1990 and painted Tingari and Water Dreamings. Like some other artists working out of Mulan, he used more areas of brushwork on the canvas and did not utilise dotting so much as other artists from the Balgo Hills area. He created unusual and subtle designs filled with his knowledge and concern for Men’s Law. He worked slowly and carefully, attaching great importance to his finished works. He was married to the late Ena Gimme Nungarrayi . Writers: Johnson, Vivien Date written: 1994 Last updated: 2011
