Like Willy Tjungurrayi, this artist is a serious painter, who faithfully portrays his `dreamings` in a meticulous manner and a `classical` Pintupi style of work. Born in the area of Karrkurritinytja (Lake Macdonald). Barney Campbell, a senior Lawman, paints Tingari Cycle stories from around Lake Macdonald. In his paintings, the Dreaming stories are usually depicted in a dramatic juxtaposition of black, red and white colours. Exhibitions include this artist`s participation in a collaborative painting, which was featured in the `Papunya Tula: Genesis and Genius` exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW, Sydney, 2000.
