COOINDA GALLERY
(estab.1987)
Australian Aboriginal Desert
Art
Cooinda has a wide range of exceptional
Australian Aboriginal art from several communities and art centres, caters
to collectors and investors, and advise on corporate acquisitions.
All paintings have Original Certificates
of Authenticity.
Cooinda Gallery was first opened in 1987 by the
Director, Julia Johnston, who presents this wonderful aboriginal desert
art - sometimes described as 'Dot paintings'.
Cooinda Gallery has supplied galleries and private collectors
since 1987 with excellent examples of aboriginal art.
Cooinda means 'meeting place' - the town of Cooinda
is part of Kakadu National Park, in the Northern Territory of Australia.
The 'Dot paintings' are stories that were traditionally
drawn in the sand to teach the culture and impart the traditional ways
of the aboriginal people to their young - it is their 'language', and tells
of the time of the Dreaming when the Ancestors roamed the countryside shaping
the country into what we see today. See our page on Aboriginal
Art for more details.
These acrylic on canvas works are merely a new medium
for ancient storytelling which originally used feathers, sticks and stones
and natural pigments in the desert sands, to relay and celebrate their
dreamings.
