Adrian joined The Bindi Mwerre Anthurre Artists in 2002. He is a landscape painter and uses a predominantly restricted palette. His paintings consistently refer to the desert mountains, ridges and trees which are part of Yalpirakinu. His brushwork is loaded with energy, drama and memories. He is a deliberate and thoughtful painter; reworking, pushing and pulling the image to completion. Jangala is a brother to the late artist Darby Ross Jampitjinpa, and his mother is the late Eunice Napangardi, a well known painter. It is her country, Yalpirakinu, that Adrian paints. Adrian won the NATSIAA General Painting Award (2020), the Artist of the Year, Mparntwe NAIDOC awards (2021), and The Alice Prize, Mparntwe National Contemporary Art Award (2022), and has twice been selected in same year as a finalist in the three major Art Gallery of NSW prizes - the Archibald, Wynne and the Sir John Sulman.
