Description

A fully illustrated survey of the work of over 30 artists’ important contributions to contemporary painting, representing communities across Australia. The intensely colourful canvases and extremely intricate paintings on bark draw on ancient stories on dreamings and symbols, as well as each artist’s deep connection to the land. It is this link to ancient tradition that makes Australian Aboriginal art so unique.
