AUTHENTICITY


Since 1996 we provide artists with materials and have them painting in our gallery, organized workshops close to their place or buy directly from them on our visits to remote areas of Australia. Most of the artwork we offer for sale have been done whilst Werner was sitting next to the artists doing the painting. This is why we with confidence can issue Certificates of Authenticity.

Our relationship with our artists is such that many of them worked with us on and off for more than 25 years.

Dreamtime Stories
There is a story to every painting. Some have been passed on for numerous generations, dating back to more 50,000 years Rock painting.

Story-telling through song and dance and  ….. art
There was no written language; story-telling, song and dance, was a way not only to celebrate culture but also to preserve it and to pass it on to the next generation. Today, painting makes a significant contribution to this effort.  

Aboriginal Art - Styles
There are different styles of Aboriginal Art. Due to various groups having lived apart in the vast Australian interior without roads and modern communication many different languages and cultural ways developed. 

Modern materials used by Artists
Today Aboriginal artists use many vibrant colors, not only natural pigments as in earlier times - white from pipe clay, red and yellow ochres from the earth and black from charcoal.  Surrounded and captivated by an incredible landscape, watching the sun rise and set in a spectacular way, seeing the desert bloom after rain  –  all of those powerful experiences have Artists increasingly use bright colours.
Aboriginal Artists no longer restrict themselves to Sand drawings when depicting objects, illustrating a story, showing a map of the landscape or painting on bodies, rocks and bark. Today, they use mainly canvas and linen to paint on.  The stories have not changed; they tell about the journey of ancestors, the landscape, animal habitats, social laws and religious believes as well as life and survival in the harsh environment of the Australian Interior. However, the use of modern materials allowed this great art to be exhibited in Galleries around the world; in London, Amsterdam, New York and Paris as well as in places like Hong Kong, Tokyo and Jakarta. images

Young artists use creative ways to tell their stories 
Today, many upcoming young artists mix their traditional skills with new ways of sharing and communicating their stories to us. For example, Kurun Warun not only tells his story, he is also using his didgeridoo to play it.
