Jack Phillipus was born at Kalimpinpa, an important Rain Dreaming site north-east of Kintore. His father, who was Warlpiri, came from Parikurlangu to the north of Kalimpinpa and his mother, who was of mixed Warlpiri/Luritja descent, also came from Kalimpinpa.
Long Jack grew up in the bush west of Mount Farewell and came into Haasts Bluff settlement with his whole family as a teenager. He worked at Haasts Bluff as a timber contractor and stockman and married Georgette Napaldjarri. They have two sons, three daughters and many grandchildren.
Jack is one of the senior artists of Papunya, and was involved with the early painting movement in 1971. He has painted continuously since that time.
This painting depicts the Kalimpinpa site, the large circles waterholes, with riverlets running to their centres.
