Born Yuendumu c.1962 and a Warlpiri speaker whose Dreamings are Ngapa (Water) and Yankirri (Emu). Lawrence Watson was one of the youngest male artists working with Warlukurlangu Artists in the early 1990s. He began painting in 1988 and exhibiting in 1989. In 1990 the artist’s work was included in Tigari Lia, Contemporary Aboriginal Art from Australia at the Third Eye Centre in Glasgow, Scotland. His work combines elements of the older artists’ approach such as asymmetrical layouts, with an exuberant exploration of the stylistic possibilities of Western Desert art.
