This selection of contemporary Aboriginal paintings features works from different regions of Australia. Included here are twelve poster-size reproductions of paintings from Balgo and Fitzroy Crossing in Western Australia, as well as works by artists resident in Alice Springs, Utopia and Gochan Jiny-Jirra in the Northern Territory. These works are by Aboriginal artists and show the characteristic artist styles of the different regions. These paintings aim to embody the vitality and mystery of the Dreaming, and reflect the sacred Aboriginal bond with the land. An introductory text on Aboriginal painting, profiles of the artists and details of their individual Dreaming stories are included.
