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.
