This original Aboriginal artwork by Michael Japaljarri Wayne depicts Yankirri Jukurrpa, also known as Emu Dreaming.
Yankirri Jukurrpa is a Warlpiri Dreaming story connected to the emu and its movements across Country. In Aboriginal art, this story may be represented through traditional symbols, tracks, repeated patterning and dot work that reflect the journey, presence and significance of the emu within the landscape.
This 76 x 46cm artwork features orange, yellow, black, blue and white tones, creating a bright and energetic colour palette with strong contrast. The combination of warm colours with blue highlights gives the piece a contemporary feel while still keeping a clear connection to Country and story.
This artwork is a versatile size for a home, office, hallway or special interior space. It is large enough to make an impact, while still being easy to frame, display or send as a meaningful Australian gift.
Currently available to view at our Manly store, this original Aboriginal artwork is a strong choice for anyone looking to buy Aboriginal art in Sydney with a clear Dreaming story, beautiful visual impact and connection to Country.
This original Aboriginal artwork is supplied unstretched and rolled, giving you flexibility with framing and making it easier to send within Australia or internationally.
