We believe in sharing knowledge and invite you to learn more about Aboriginal art and culture.

Aniela talks about Aboriginal art...How the Australian Indigenous Art Movement started?
It was only in 1971 when the Pintupi tribe was taken from the land to Papunya settlement to learn living in one place, Geoffrey Barton, a school teacher inspired the senior Aboriginal men to paint murals in the local school. In 1972 the artists successfully established own Papunya Tula Artists company and the community started painting canvases to document their stories. Early paintings gave an account of the sacred laws and depicted some elements of the ceremonial life normally forbidden by women, children and non-initiated.

Creating paintings allowed Aboriginal people permanently document their everlasting stories and their way of life as Aboriginal culture has no written language and relies on storytelling as the basis of their “formal” education. These canvases become “the written language” to communicate with the rest of the world and securing Aboriginal culture entry to the 21 century contemporary civilization.

Today Aboriginal women use the freedom of self expression (Utopia art) and through experimentation create the most fascinating and most beautiful contemporary art. Nowadays Aboriginal people live and work around the world from Arnhem to London from Papunya to New York. Hence it is probably the last chance that anyone on this planet to get hold of authentic paintings of these legendary artists we have for sale.

Aboriginal art is the most important art that come out from this ancient Australian land. This ancient culture of over 60 thousands years old gave the world its most exciting form of contemporary art. It is also a living tradition, having taken its current form, in an explosion of creativity, in the second half of the Twentieth Century. But those painters who started the Central and Western Desert Art Movement aging, they are old and unwell like the great masters Billy Stockman (B.1927), Long Jack Phillipus (B.1932), Lindsay Bird (B.1935), Mrs Bennett Nyurapayia Nampitjinpa (b.1938), Nancy Nunguarrayi (B.1935), Don Tjungarrayi (B.1938), Ningura Napurrula (B.1938), Pansy Napangardi (B.1947), Gloria Petyarre (B.1945), Gloria Mills Petyarre (B.1932), Katie Kemarre (B.1943), William Sandy (B.1944), Lilly Kelly Napangardi (b.1948), Ronnie Tjampitjinpa (B.1944), Ngoia Pollard (B.1948), Barbara Reid Napangardi </
