Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox artist Ginger Riley Munduwalawala (Шаблон:Circa1936 – 1 September 2002) was an Aboriginal Australian contemporary artist. He was born incountry, in the Limmen Bight area of the Gulf of Carpentaria coast. His first language was Marra,[1] now a critically endangered language. Riley became an artist during the 1950s as a result of his encounter with Albert Namatjira.

Riley was known for his distinctive style of using bright palette to paint a landscape of Gulf of Carpentaria, populated by mythological figures who created the region.[2] His art is a fusion of "Aboriginal" and "contemporary".[3] He was referred to as "the boss of colour".[4]

Riley was awarded the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award in 1987, the Northern Territory's Alice Prize in 1992, John McCaughey Memorial Art Prize in 1993,[2] the first National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Art Award in 1993[5] and an Australia Council Fellowship for 1997/98.[6]

The National Gallery of Victoria held a 10-year retrospective of his work in 1997. It was the first time a public institution in Australia honoured a living Aboriginal artist in this way.[6][7]
