Wurrandan Marawili

Wurrandan is a founding member and lead singer and dancer for Garraŋali band from Yilpara. Recently Marawili was appointed Chairman of his homeland organisation in Yilpara following in the footsteps of the great activist and artist Djambawa Marawili.

Son of Bakulaŋay Marawili (father). He has spent his life at Yilpara. He only recently has begun painting.

He came to the attention of the art centre in 2017 and his individual style of intensely fine marwat, inventive palette and innovative composition culminated in a work which was shared on Instagram and seen by staff of a major institution who ended up acquiring it.

A finalist in NATSIAA 2019, this work has been selected to be part of a major exhibition touring the USA in 2021. IN 2021 he was one of the featured artists in Murrŋiny.
