Australian Artwork

Australia is a very diverse country with a rich and colourful background that lends itself to a variety of artistic styles. Art influences range from Indigenous to European, Asian to Middle Eastern, all coming together to be Australian. Whilst there are many styles of art that define Australia, Aboriginal art has really always been at the heart of what Australian art is.

Authentic Aboriginal art is very sought out for and easily enhances the aesthetics of any home. From incredible vibrant colours to the use of remarkable earth tones, there are options for all tastes. Artworks can be found and purchased from multiple outlets. High end pieces can be found via art galleries and brokers, while other pieces can be bought directly from artists in their communities or from local shops. The internet is also a great source for finding different artworks throughout the country. As with anything, be weary of fakes and un-ethical sales people.

 
Other non-Indigenous artworks include amazing woodworks, glassworks, paintings and sculptures from around the country. From small towns like Bellingen and Byron Bay to the big cities of Melbourne and Sydney, creativity and quality craftsmanship is in abundance.
