Aboriginal Art Online Australian Aboriginal Art

Contemporary Aboriginal art is a vital part of the world's oldest continuous cultural tradition. It is also one of the most brilliant and exciting areas of modern art.

You can experience this richness by selecting from our range of quality paintings and limited edition prints by Aboriginal artists - together with information and comment to help understand the art works.

Because we work directly with Aboriginal community art centres, you can select from authentic works at very competitive prices - and much of the income goes to the artists themselves! All paintings come with certificates of authenticity issued by the artist's community art centre.

Visit our online galleries and explore the articles by experts, photographs and a wide range of information on Aboriginal art, culture and communities, using the navigation bar on the left. The most recent works on the site are listed under Latest Additions.

You can also buy books and DVDs about Aboriginal art and culture from our online shop. Shopping with your credit card is totally safe, backed by our guarantee of on-line security.

The Jukurrpa Diary and Jukurrpa Calendar for 2010 are available! These are always in high demand and we usually sell out of stock before the end of the year. So please order your Jukurrpa Diary or Calendar 2010 soon!

Contemporary Aboriginal artists use a considerable variety of materials and techniques in painting. Some of these materials are rooted strongly in tradition - such as the use of ochre pigments in the Kimberley and bark from Arnhem Land. Other artists have adopted modern media and work with acrylic paints on canvas, archival paper or other surfaces. One recent development in Aboriginal art has been the growth in pottery and ceramics - for an outstanding example see our selection of Balgo glass works.
