Best Selling Aboriginal Artists

See Aboriginal paintings across the range of artworks available at Japingka Gallery. With over 4,500 paintings in stock there is always a depth of artworks available from the many artists, communities and regions around Australia. Our stockrooms are extensive and cater to the many different styles of Aboriginal art from across Australia.

Paintings from the Central and Western Deserts, Arnhem Land, Kimberley and northern Queensland are all well represented. While we have over 100 individual artists listed on our artists pages, there are many hundreds more artists who have paintings in the gallery stockrooms.

Just as the regional styles vary greatly across the country, so do the painting techniques and methods. Within the dot painting traditions of Central Australia there are many variations in the artists applications of this technique. Some artists use fine sticks or points to make delicate dots that they build up in layers. Some artists use the handle of the brush to make hard dots, while others use the brush itself in a vertical dapping movement to make larger spreading dot marks.

Many painting implements are used to achieve the effects that the artist is seeking. The ochre painters of Arnhem Land and the Tiwi Islands can use specially carved wooden combs that make multiple rows of dots. Other artists use grass reeds that are split to make the finest lines when dragged across the painting surface.

All these techniques and styles add to the remarkable diversity found in Aboriginal painting. The Stockroom collection may be a useful guide to the painting styles that appeal most to you.
