Spirit Gallery has received over 20 new pieces from the Keringke Art Centre. All our now available online and in store.
Keringke Art Centre is situated in the community of Ltyentye Apurte in the Central Australian region of the Northern Territory.
The community was named for the stand of bloodwood trees that grow at the foot of hills to the west. Keringke Arts was named after an important and ancient rock-hole nearby that was formed when an ancestor Kangaroo travelled through the country. Several of the Keringke Artists have responsibilities associated with the Keringke Rockhole site.
Keringke Arts today produces a wide variety of art products, reflecting the colour, rhythm and ambience of the land that is home for the Eastern Arrernte artists.
The artists are represented nationally and internationally in many collections, and the work is prized for its unique, mostly fine dotted style.
Various painters have developed the Keringke style over a twenty year period. The artists use pattern, colour, shape and design to create paintings that depict their sense of country, culture and self.
These shapes and designs may have features common to ancient rock art and petroglyph designs. Some designs reflect sand and body paintings. Most commonly, in its contemporary form, the art is not attributed to any particular thing, but expresses the life world of the particular artist.
