Welcome to Art Mob, Tasmania’s home of Australian Aboriginal art
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting your journey to discovering Indigenous art, you will find what you’re looking for in one of the world’s most focussed Aboriginal art galleries.
‘What is Aboriginal art?’
Like most people, you may think this is a simple question. But the truth is, Aboriginal art is as varied and complex as it is exciting and bewildering.
Our passion and knowledge for all things Aboriginal art-related means that you will discover the answers you are looking for in your search for your next piece of art, as well as the wonderful culture surrounding it.
Wherever you may be in the world, it is our pleasure to ensure you get the artwork you love home quickly and safely. Not only that, but we guarantee you the education to fully appreciate it.
Our wide range of artwork exemplifies the extraordinary diversity within the term ‘Aboriginal art’
For over 18 years we have maintained strong working relationships and friendships with artists, art centres, institutions and clients from Australia and overseas. We take pride in being able to share some of the finest art in the country with you.
With over 250 different language groups making up Aboriginal Australia, there is not one style of art, nor one artist, that can wholly depict the entirety of the world’s oldest living culture.
Because of this, our works come from many places around Australia, giving you a comprehensive overview of Aboriginal art in its many forms. Areas our art comes from include but are not limited to:
• Tasmania
• Far North Queensland
• Central and Western Deserts
• Tiwi Islands
• Torres Strait Islands
• Mornington Island
• The Kimberley
We are privileged to have made connections all over the country with leading art centres and artists. You will see a new exhibition current and upcoming at any given time at Art Mob. These might be the debut solo exhibition of a young up and coming artist, or a collection of new works from regional art centres excited to share differing styles. Like Aboriginal art, our walls are everchanging, meaning there is always something new for you to discover.
For the serious collector
We have provided works for national and international collectors, museums and institutions. These include the world’s only museum 100% focussed on Australian Aboriginal art – Musée d’art aborigène australien ‘ La grange’ in Motiers, Switzerland, National Gallery of Australia, National Museum of Australia, Art Gallery of Western Australia, Art Gallery of South Australia, Queensland Art Gallery, Art Gallery of NSW and many others.
Ethical Art
Looking after the artists we represent and their culture is our priority, and so ethical sourcing and trading of art is of utmost importance to us. We are members of the two organisations governing a stringent code of ethics to ensure fair trading and transparency in the selling of Aboriginal art:
This means that you can be comfortable in knowing that the artists have been paid accordingly and their community is benefitting from the sales. Moreover, you will be provided with comprehensive information about the art and the artist as well as provenance of the artwork in the form of certificates of authenticity. For more information on ethical sourcing of Aboriginal art, visit the websites or feel free to contact us directly.
We ship nationally & internationally
We ship paintings either stretched or unstretched, nationally and internationally. We have dedicated in-house packaging specialists, meaning that no matter where home is, you can rest assured knowing your art will arrive in perfect condition ready to put on the wall. Everything we send is insured by us until it reaches you.
Have a question about getting artwork back home? Ask us now!
We thrive on answering your questions about the industry we love. We believe that being able to show people the Aboriginal art on your wall generates positive change, and being able to explain it is just as important. So enquire now about a work you already have that you would like more information on.
