Aborinal art using new medium

Dec 16, 2011,22:57 PM
 

When i saw this artwork , it is unmistakeable aboriginal art.The actual piece looks much more resplendent in real life than my iphone photo. Instead of the usual " dots " using paint, this piece was commissioned by Nespresso and the " dots " are nespresso aluminium capsules , using the colour palette from the existing nespreso range.Hope you enjoy this art work as much as i was moved by it.


Cheers,dreamer

Very interesting piece and thanks for sharing. I'm not familiar with Aboriginal art, what is the significance of using dots? Do certain colors or patterns represent something? -MW

Dots

Hi Ming, The meaning of the dots is not entirely known, and there are various theories. What seems to be true is that this style of ‘dot painting’ appeared in the 1960’s in the Central and Western Desert areas, principally amongst the Papunya and Yuendumu... 

thanks for the info! [nt]

I'm not familiar with Aborinal art and would be interested in comparing the two types. Thanks for sharing, Helen
