Our Aboriginal Art

My Country by Kuddtji Kngwarreye, photographed by Sabine Haider.

Central Art specialises in the acquisition of quality Indigenous artworks from Central and Desert regions of Central Australia. We represent over two hundred Indigenous artists, both well-established and emerging.


The contemporary Aboriginal art that Central Art does showcase is of spiritual traditions and cultural practices. Each region is unique and styles and themes vary across the country. Indigenous artists from Central and Western desert area frequently paint particular 'Dreamings', or stories, for which they have personal responsibility or rights.


The iconography portrayed by many Aboriginal artists, such as those from Papunya, originated as translations of traditional motifs marked out in sand, boards or incised into rock. The symbols used in designs typically include those denoting place, those denoting movement, others that may indicate people or animals and dot fields that may indicate a range of phenomena such as sparks, clouds or rain.


Central Art - Aboriginal Art Store is one of the leading Indigenous on-line galleries offering a diverse collection of contemporary Indigenous art for purchase. Central Art follows a well defined provenance and authenticity process to ensure that we are an exemplar in our business practice. Careful and detailed documentation follows – each work is given a catalogue number, inscribed on the back of the artwork with the Central Art stamped logo, the artist's signature and the title of the work.
