Biography
Born at Mereenie near Haasts Bluff c.1930, Limpi Tjapangati was one of the pioneer painting group at Papunya who developed a distinctive 'striped’ style, which remained constant over a long period of time, and influenced other artists, especially those also working out of Haasts Bluff. Warlpiri artists like Paddy Carroll and Two Bob Tjungurrayi adopted the striped style for a period, and Turkey Tolson also experimented with it. Until his dramatic death in 1985 – he collapsed while addressing a Land Council meeting – Limpi lived with his family at Haasts Bluff. His traditional country Mereenie Bore was the site of a rich find of natural gas. He painted Wild Tomato, Magpie, Bush Onion and Crow Dreamings.
