Our Aboriginal Art

When I select a work, I follow my aesthetic instincts. I choose paintings that overwhelm me.

Often I am so attached to a work that when a painting leaves our gallery, I feel a sense of loss. The work is more than a canvas – it is also the artist, their spirit and their story and the relevance that the story has to their community. That travels with the painting.

Because of our location in the central Australian desert city of Alice Springs and our continuing face to face interaction with the artists, we are increasingly aware of the cultural differences between various tribal groups. We continue to develop our appreciation and understanding of the unique context of the art and are delighted to share this information with our clients.

All Aboriginal art is an expression of the Aboriginal Dreaming. Traditionally Aboriginal people from Central Australia used sand and body painting combined with song, dance and story to maintain and transfer their law, beliefs and customs Today the artists also use contemporary materials working with acrylic on canvas, designs on glass or fabric and watercolour on paper to make their art transportable.

Our online Aboriginal Art Store offers a wide range of over 500 paintings ranging from intricate dot work to bold colourful abstracts, small paintings for educational purposes, affordable art for art lovers and large collectable works for investors and collectors. We offer selected galleries for
