Centred Art specialises in supplying original and authentic contemporary Aboriginal art. We stock an extensive range of paintings to suit all budgets & tastes. We are equally committed to protecting and promoting the interests of indigenous artists. This is why our gallery only sells art acquired from community based art centres. This ensures the artwork is authentic and the artists receive a fair price for their work.

The artists represented in the Centred Art collection employ a range of different styles, reflecting the diverse cultural contexts in which they are created. The art echoes tribal and personal interpretations of traditional lore, and styles vary greatly between art producing regions. The ‘dot art' that traditionally characterises contemporary Aboriginal art is just one of many diverse styles of modern Aboriginal art. The more conventional pieces are executed in rich ochre tones, in contrast to modern looking paintings that feature explosions of colour and abstract or naïve forms.

Every authentic Aboriginal artwork contains a story about the connection to the land (country), the creators of that land, their stories and the artist's personal interpretation of the dreaming. This gives each work a unique quality and power.
