Arnhem Art Gunbalanya

Gunbalanya

  • Gunbalanya is a community of ten language groups but mainly Kunwinjku .

  • Gunbalanya is next to the Alligator river and the area has abundant wildlife including ducks and barramundi fish.

  • Traditional painting with ochre on bark has been practiced for many thousands of years.

Gunbalanya Style



  • Gunbalanya style is mostly traditional images of spirits, Mimi's and Wanjina.

  • A shortage of bark in the 1990's forced local painters to start painting with ochre on paper primed with gouache.

  • Arnhem style is interesting because it tell traditional stories in a single work.
