Marcus Blanasi
Kunj & Bolung - Kangaroo & Rainbow Serpent
1997
Acrylic on canvas
82cm x 65.5cm


The kangaroo was the rainbow serpent's pet and the people (bininj) killed the kangaroo. The rainbow serpent ate all the people. The small man is the only witness, he killed the snake and went and told everybody. The leaves in the painting are for the fire burning, getting ready to cook them all up. In this painting the kangaroo is a rock kangaroo (namarr). There are many types of kangaroo. All are called kunj.
