Aboriginal Art Online - Contemporary Art and Traditional Symbols
Traditional symbols are an essential part of much contemporary Aboriginal art. Our online galleries offer a wide range of art works using traditional and contemporary imagery and symbols. Aboriginal peoples have long artistic traditions within which they use conventional designs and symbols. These designs when applied to any surface, whether on the body of a person taking part in a ceremony or on a shield, have the power to transform the object to one with religious significance and power. Through the use of designs inherited from ancestors, artists continue their connections to country and the Dreaming. For example, body decoration using ancestral designs is an important part of many ceremonies. Symbols used in Papunya Central Desert art - Based on information from "Papunya Tula" by Geoffrey Bardon While the most commonly used symbols are relatively simple, they can be used in elaborate combinations to tell more complex stories.

Neon Paint Brings Ordinary Portraits to Life
Light effects are just about as versatile as the imagination. The possibilities are endless. This is what Portuguese photographer Hid Saib discovered as he played around with some neon effects on people’s faces. Hid Saib used tiny flecks of vivid neon paint and decorated the faces as well as shoulders of the subjects in his portraits. The results are images that look like a starry night or celestial patterns all over the subject’s faces. One will observe that there is an irregularity to the intensity of each neon paint speck, all the more creating realism in every image. In other images, there is a more peaceful aura, with subjects appearing more serene with the strange glow. The series is aptly called Neon, and Saib demonstrates both his mastery of his craft as a photographer and as a lighting designer. Saib has always been one to be imaginative. The series Neon is just one example of Saib’s talent. See the mesmerizing series over here.
Art History Through Sci Fi-Colored Glasses
Pastiche? Mash-up? The best form of flattery? Whatever you want to call it, artists have enjoyed riffing on historical paintings for ages. John Mattos took on Marcel Duchamp’s mechanically abstracted Nude Descending a Staircase and brilliantly reset it with C3PO. Tim O’Brien hears his master’s robotic voice. Abbott Handerson Thayer, often noted as a painter of angels, punked up a bit by Greg Manchess. Cyril van der Haegen inserts unspeakable evil into N. It’s a tough race to see what has been parodied more: the Mona Lisa, American Gothic, or Napoleon Crossing the Alps. Tristan Elwell invokes Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa for the cover to Jo Walton’s novel Tooth and Claw. Thanks to Zelda Devon for pointing me to this William Stout, an homage to Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen’s “The White Bear King.” Arthur Suydam’s “Uncle Sam,” originated by James Montgomery Flagg. A super-sweet Halloween recasting of Norman Rockwell’s “The Runaway” by Luke Radi.
