    JAKAYU BILJABU c.1935 - 2022 Pitu Yilanky, 2009 acrylic on linen 121.5 x 182 cm inscribed verso: Martumili Artists, 122 x 182, Jakayu Biljabu, 09-051, Pitu Yilanky PROVENANCE Martumili Arts, WA Cat No. 09-051 Aboriginal & Pacific Art, NSW The Le Pley Collection, WA accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Martumili Arts EXHIBITED Reverence, D'Lan Contemporary, Melbourne, Vic, 27 October 2023 – 01 December 2023 Born at Ilbudirri, a broad natural depression that fills with water during the rainy season, Jakayu Biljabu's early life was shaped by the Country surrounding the junction of Napperby, Central Mount Wedge and Narwietooma Stations, where Napperby Creek debouches into the basin. The site of Ilbudirri holds deep ceremonial and ancestral significance, its Dreamings strongly associated with the expression of maleness and the transmission of Men's Law. This commanding work, which the artist described as a Men's Dreaming, depicts a gathering of senior men of the Tjapaltjarri and Tjungurrayi kinship subsections engaged in council over the arrangements for man-making—the initiation ceremonies through which young boys are transformed into men. The event is set at Ilbudirri, the artist's birthplace and a key site for such ceremonial activities. The painting embodies both the physical and metaphysical dimensions of Country. The concentric forms and linear motifs reference the rockholes and meeting places associated with the site, while the dynamic structure of the composition conveys the rhythm and gravity of men's ceremonial life. Rendered with characteristic assurance and authority, Men's Dreaming, Ilbudirri stands as a testament to Biljabu's profound cultural knowledge and her ability to articulate the spiritual essence of Country through painterly form. @ JAKAYU BILJABU / Copyright Agency, 2025
