Kudditji paints his country, Alhalkere, which is located in the remote Utopia region, some 250 kilometres north-east of Alice Springs.
This painting by Kudditji reflects a style he has worked on since 2003 when he began to explore a technique known as the 'dump dump', or 'dump dot', that was made famous by his sister Emily. Though the similarities between brother and sister are there, Kudditji's beautiful, soft and mesmerising landscapes of his country are unmistakably his own and have found wide acceptance and acclaim via very successful solo exhibitions, particularly in Australia and London. This painting is a romantic image of his country, accentuating the colour and form of the earth and landscape, the depth of the sky, and the shimmering summer heat, expressing his extensive knowledge and love of his country.
