More about the book
The works of nine prominent Australian Aboriginal artists explore the tension between tradition and modernity, as well as the past and present. They draw on the 'Dreamtime' myths while embracing contemporary mediums, such as acrylic on canvas, transforming traditional practices like sand- and body-painting. This evolution has enabled them to enter the global art market, allowing their art to reach a broader audience while preserving sacred elements of their culture for initiated members.
