Lance James is a Pitjatjantjara man from Docker River. He paints ‘Kaltukatjara’, the surrounding country eight hours West of Alice Springs. Since he was a young boy, Lance painted the horses, bulls and cowboys that occupied his country and his childhood. His affinity with the horse is particularly evident, into which he imbues great movement, strength and grace. His familiarity with his subject matter allows him to capture the essence of a lifestyle long gone. Lance uses humour and sensitivity to explore a narrative of childhood adventure and a love of country.
