Like his famous older sister, the late Emily, Kudditji Kngwarreye enjoys the deserved reputation as an innovator. Intrigued by the possibilities of acrylic paint and the kaleidoscope of colours available to him, Kudditji began to experiment with the synthetic polymer, using a heavily loaded paint brush to sweep broadly across the canvas. These ground-breaking paintings expressed Kudditji's extensive knowledge and love of his country in a way never seen previously. His two dimensional spatial constructions seem to refer to Rothko and modernists of the twentieth century. A sense of immense space can be felt in the paintings, where massive blocks of stippled colour are laid alongside each other, sometimes using only two colours, while in other paintings a quilt of juxtaposed colours produces a landscape effect. In 2007 Kudditji was named one of the 50 most collectible artists in Australia.
