We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the Country we work on today. We recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters, and thank them for protecting this coastline and its ecosystems since time immemorial. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and extend that respect to all First Nations people present today.
At Aboriginal Contemporary our collection is truly diverse: from the strident ochres of the Kimberley to untamed abstracts from the Western Desert: from emerging artists to some of Aboriginal art’s biggest names, who have featured in major exhibitions at national galleries.
Every painting has been hand picked by owner Nichola Dare who travels to art centres in remote Aboriginal communities to source the very best work.
Thank you for visiting Aboriginal Contemporary. We hope you love these beautiful and inspiring paintings as much as we do.
Aboriginal Contemporary and Iltja Ntjarra Art Centre are thrilled to present ‘Yaiya Tjia’ - Big Sister, Little Brother with Reinhold and Vanessa Inkamala.
The West MacDonnell Ranges (Tjoritja) is their father and grandfather’s Country and of profound significance to these brother and sister artists. It is also Country loved and painted by their great uncle, the legendary Albert Namatjira.
Whilst they paint the same landscapes, the do it in very different ways. Vanessa uses watercolours, delicately bringing to life the subtle hues and rolling light unique to Australia’s central deserts. Reinhold works in acrylics, boldly capturing the rugged, unforgiving beauty of the very same landscapes.
