Indigenous artist Peter Mungkuri wins Hadley’s Art Prize, world’s richest landscape prize

An Indigenous artist has won what is believed to be the world’s richest landscape art prize for a drawing of his remote South Australian birthplace.

Peter Mungkuri has won the $100,000 inaugural Hadley’s Art Prize for his depiction of the Aboriginal community of Fregon (Kaltjiti).

Mungkuri said his piece, titled Ngura Wiru or Good Country, told a personal story.

“This is my story about that creek at Fregon,” he said. “I was born there.”

“Back then we lived in the bush, slept in the warm sand and we lived on the bush tucker.

“That place is where it all started, that was my home.

“I love this country, it has watched us Anangu (people) for many years. It is a wise country.”

Mungkuri’s ink on Somerset-paper drawing was chosen by a judging panel of three national art specialists, Lisa Slade, Rodger Butler and Julie Gough.

The radio host, who was one of 1,000 ‘specially picked’ guests at the December bash, said there were also ‘150 working behind the scenes’ as well as the host’s personal entourage of ‘stunning, sexy, slim and confident women’.

Among the crystal embellished costumes, contortionists and exceptional decor, Ms Dye said there were also a selection of food trucks along the driveway with ‘every kind of festival food you could think of’…
