The oldest civilization known to man, Aboriginal Art has no written language and consequently relies on story telling (through paintings, song and dance) to pass on Dreamtime Stories from one generation to another.

Jinta Desert Art Gallery is an established gallery that provides a program of National and International exhibitions and events focusing on recent developments in contemporary Australian Aboriginal Art. With Galleries in Sydney, Alice Springs and Melbourne we have developed a reputation for promoting and encouraging Aboriginal Artists and expanding public awareness of their art and culture.

We have the largest collection of Aboriginal Art and artefacts in Australia. All paintings are supplied with full documentation. Packing and world wide shipping is available. We deal with the artists and buy all our paintings directly from them or their qualified agent.

Aboriginal art and culture has attracted worldwide attention with its ancient iconography and universal philosophy. The Dreamtime Stories depicted in their art reveal 40,000 years of history and demonstrate a respect and love for their inherent culture and land.
  
Each paintings tells a story which represents a particular song and dance. Harmony with nature and survival without destruction are paramount issues in Aboriginal art and culture. The oldest civilization known to man, Aboriginal Art has no written language and consequently relies on storytelling (through painting song and dance) to pass Dreamtime stories on, from one generation to another.

International focus and a greater appreciation of Aboriginal Art have fostered the development of contemporary movements and a further understanding of traditional Aboriginal culture.
