About aboriginal art collection

For Australia's indigenous people, art expresses all aspects of life and identity.

While rooted in tradition, Aboriginal art is constantly evolving, finding unique expression of cultural beliefs and incorporating new ideas in a contemporary art form , providing a point of cultural communication.

The diversity and richness of this expansive art movement provides evidence of the enduring creativity of Australia's indigenous people which has broadened its reach and increased its significance and appeal within the international contemporary art market. The boom in Aboriginal art has been important in gaining respect and appreciation for Aboriginal culture and in creating bridges of understanding between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians.

aboriginal art collection offers works from both emerging and established Aboriginal artists, illustrating the diverse range of indigenous art in Australia.

Each Aboriginal painting depicts an individual interpretation of events from the artist's Dreaming (tjukurrpa or jukurrpa). Paintings from the Central and Western Desert communities represent stories from one of many cycles that concern travelling, mythical ancestral beings and the country that is laced by their path. The value of the Dreaming emanates from the conception that the world as it now exists is a result of these beings. Persons, customs, geographical features are all believed to have originated in the Dreaming. For more information about a particular painting's story, please contact us.

The majority of our paintings have been sourced directly from various Aboriginal art centres located in remote communities of Australia. All paintings are fully documented, and are sold with a Certificate of Authenticity. On occasion we purchase pieces from local buyers, dealers or gallery owners or an artist’s agent with whom we have a good working rapport.

To purchase any of the paintings in our collection, please phone, fax or email us. If are interested in a painting which has been sold, please contact us as we can look to sourcing more works from that respective artist.

All images are the property of the individual artists and can not be reproduced without their prior written permission or the Artist’s Agent.
