Aboriginal prints are an attractive and affordable
form of Australian Aboriginal art. Artists have
expanded rapidly in their use of print making as
a form of artistic expression.
There is now a wide range of etchings, screenprints
and other limited edition works by both established
and emerging artists from communities in the Kimberley,
Central and Western Desert and Top End (including
Arnhem Land) regions of Australia.
Prints are arranged by regions - click on the
link to see works from a particular region. If you
want to read a short biography of the one of the
artists, go to the Art
and Artists section of our Website. |

This work is based on navigation by the stars, the boat being both a symbolic vehicle to travel back to the dreaming in and a connection with country, spirit and place. Contained within this vessel are elements of my childhood: the figure with three dillybags, a guiding light (far left), my mother (far right) and the three mangrove men. These designs, like those below the boat in the water, are location markers. They talk of the dugong seagrasses, irukandji jellyfish, sea cucumbers and the spawning coral.Other key elements to the work are the different stages of personal growth through my years as a painter and printmaker and my relationship to place. |

The figure to the right reflects The Tablelands and the fresh water that comes carving new life with each wet season. The figure to the left represents a "Bush Spirit", within which contains the water holes, new growth, plant-life and bird-life. The central figure is that of the artist with hands reaching into the earth which in return sustains his identity, country and culture. The image supporting these figures is one of fertility and connecting forces. |

The raft is used as a vehicle for returning back to the dreaming; within the boat to the right of the central figure is a mangrove totem, and further left is that of the dugong rib cage bone, decorated with male symbols. To the right of the central figure is a freshwater bush spirit and further right there is a figure of a dugong. Within the dugong are shapes containing stingray, turtle and spirit figures. The overall concept of this work was one of when the monsoon begins and fertile freshwater cuts and creates new pathways to the reef/ocean. This could also be seen as a time of renewing of the dreaming. |
