Australian Aborigina-Didgeridoo Long
Australian aboriginals are indigenous Australians. This sculpture depicts an aboriginal playing a didgeridoo and is the clever creation of talented artist Dennis Forshaw. Beautifully handpainted. Made of Polyresin. Dimension: 180mm. A thoughtful gift for a visitor to Australia wanting to take a part of the Australian culture home.
The didgeridoo is a wind instrument of the Indigenous Australians of northern Australia. It resembles a long wooden trumpet and is usually cylindrical in shape and measures anywhere between 1 to 2 meters in length with most instruments measuring around 1.2 meters. Generally, the longer the instrument, the lower the pitch or key of the instrument. Keys from D to F# are the preferred pitch of traditional Aboriginal players. Although there no reliable sources stating the didgeridoo's exact age, it is commonly claimed to be the world's oldest wind instrument.
ABOUT AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINALS
Indigenous Australians or Aboriginals, descendants of the first known human inhabitants of the Australian continent and its nearby islands, are recognised to have arrived between 40,000 and 70,000 years ago. The term Indigenous Australians encompasses many diverse communities and societies, and these are further divided into local communities with unique cultures and languages. They are well known for their art, music and poetry. Their paintings, commonly done on rock and bark, consist of paint using earthly colours, specifically, made from ochre. Traditionally, Aboriginals have painted stories from their dreamtime. Modern Aboriginal artists continue the tradition using modern materials in their artworks. Today, Aboriginal art is the most internationally recognisable form of Australian art.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Dennis Forshaw began sculpturing Aboriginal figures and selling them at local markets to support himself through art college. His life changed when he was introduced to clay in an art class and fell in love with it. His sculptors proved to be extremely popular with tourists as well as locals and after some research into the culture of indigenous people, his interest grew into a full blown passion for creating these works of art. Dennis has a Visual Arts and teaching qualification.
