ROMOLO TIPILOURA
Romolo Tipiloura worked for Jilamara Arts and Crafts with his wife Immaculata between 2003 and 2005, returning to Tiwi Design on Bathurst Island, in 2006. He is best known for his carved and painted figurative, three-dimensional works and limited-editon prints. The subject matter and inspiration for Tipiloura’s art practice are traditional Tiwi creation stories and ceremonial objects, such as tutini / memorial poles. His carved and painted tutini reference classic Tiwi aesthetics, expressed in contemporary and innovative sculptural forms.
