Aboriginal Dot Painting on Canvas
This striking dot painting by Theresa Curtis has a lot of symbolic features typical of Aboriginal Australian landscapes and folklore. A special key helps decipher the painting, which abounds with water holes and sand hills, bush bananas and bush tomatoes, goanna eggs and the famous Sturt Pea. You can guess which feature symbolizes the mythical 'Seven Sisters'. The artwork seems to tell a dynamic story of life which is up to your imagination to unfold. The colors of the painting are white, ochre and mustard yellow, which are so typical of dot paintings.
Please Note: During our travels to Coober Pedy each year, we are shown many authentic Aboriginal dot paintings by the artists themselves. Of these, we select a few to be advertised on this site. All of our dot paintings are guaranteed to be the real thing, painted solely by the native peoples of this land living in and around Coober Pedy.
