Hi there, Thank you for visiting our online gallery. Artlandish is one of the world’s largest Australian Indigenous art galleries and is based in Kununurra, the gateway to the magnificent Kimberley region in the northern part of the state of Western Australia.

We hope you enjoy your time visiting the Artlandish Gallery site.
The Artlandish Online Gallery is the avenue through which collectors and art lovers both within Australia and Internationally are able to view Aboriginal art for sale which we present in our Gallery in Kununurra, Far East Kimberley, Western Australia.
We specialise in indigenous art from all the major regions throughout Australia including Kalumburu with depictions of the mystical Rock Art figures, ochre artworks from Kununurra, Warmun and throughout the Kimberley, the amazing Cross-hatching (Rarrk) design and x-ray paintings from the Northern Territory, in particular Arnhem Land, as well as acrylic works from the Central and Western Desert communities.
Artlandish Gallery is located in Kununurra, Western Australia, the gateway to the magnificent Kimberley region.
This is a very beautiful part of Australia with Purnululu National Park (now World Heritage listed) just one of the attractions which make this remote region a mecca for tourists, anthropologists, authors and artists.
Kununurra and the Kimberley region are rich in talented Indigenous artists. Many artists from this region paint using natural ochre pigments that create incredibly unique artworks unlike anything found anywhere else. You can view them in our Kimberley Artworks section.

It’s ancient. It’s native. It’s artistic. We are talking about Indigenous Australian Art by the indigenous Aboriginal people of Australia of course! 🙂
The Aborigines migrated to Australia over 40,000 years ago and brought their rich tribal culture, spiritual beliefs and their art. According to the 2011 Census, there are 548,370 who consider themselves to be Aborigines, which is around 3% of Australia’s total population.
Aboriginal paintings are a very sacred form of art because they contain so much value and importance to the Aborigines who paint them. To this day in many cases an artist has to be granted permission in order to paint specific stories if that story belongs to another artist or tribe in a particular area, especially if it contains sacred or secretive details. In addition, if the story was not a part of the artist’s family lineage, they were typically not ever permitted to paint the story. Although this practice does not strictly apply to contemporary artists today, it definitely demonstrates the sacredness of this form of painting.
Aboriginal art is heavily based upon the ancient stories of the Aboriginal people. For example, the artistic stories found in most artistic works, also known as Jukurrpa, are sometimes filled with symbols of ‘the Dreamtime’ period, which represents the creation of the world. These stories date back 50,000 years and have travelled their way through many generations.
Visual art has been used by the Aboriginal people to teach. The symbols in the painting are also interpreted differently depending upon who is teaching and the area that they are from. The story behind the same exact painting can actually have a more in depth explanation when being told to an elder versus a young child. While a story may have a heavy emphasis on education and behavior when being told to child, it can on the other hand, also have an emphasis on moral value when told to an adult.
Since early Aborigines did not have a formal written language, paintings were their written language and it also contained their history. The visual art portion of Aboriginal art includes rock art, bark paintings, body decorations, wood sculptures and sand sculptures. The paintings you could say are comparable to an encyclopedia that is filled with the rich history and details of the people.
