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.
In 2022, Dulcie Nanala Napaltjarri crossed the Great Sandy Desert to Wilkinkarra, the vast salt pan also known as Lake Mackay. It was the first time Dulcie had walked on her father’s Country and it was a profound experience that transformed her art.
Dulcie’s paintings channel the rich palette and rugged
textures of the desert home of her ancestors. She paints the clay pans, sandhills and life-giving water holes of her Tjukurrpa (dreaming) to share and celebrate her people’s culture and Country.
Warlayrti Artists and Aboriginal Contemporary are proud
to bring Dulcie’s first solo show to Sydney; Please join us in the gallery and welcome Dulcie to Sydney where she will be talking about her work and Country at 3pm on Saturday 18 May.
