It's wonderful that you're considering adding an Aboriginal art print to your home and celebrating Aboriginal art and culture
Indeed, you can find reproduction Aboriginal art prints at retailers like Myer, Spotlight, Kmart, and Target, and we shouldn't overlook the ephemera at Bunnings. However, when you purchase these mass-produced items, the artists might receive at best 10% of the wholesale prices, and usually much less, which equates to a tiny fraction of your retail price.
A more rewarding and supportive option would be to consider buying an affordable original painting. By choosing an original Aboriginal artwork over a Aboriginal art print you are prioritising the artist and their community, truly celebrating their art and culture. This direct support not only ensures they receive fair compensation (when you buy ethically) but also contributes to the sustainability of their cultural practices.
Original Aboriginal art offers a depth of story and authenticity that mass-produced prints simply cannot match. Each piece adds a unique aesthetic and spiritual value to your space, aligning well with the principles of Feng Shui, which values genuine and meaningful elements that enhance the energy of an environment.
Investing in original Aboriginal art is more than an aesthetic choice—it's an act of supporting Aboriginal artists and contributing to the preservation of a rich cultural heritage. So, as you consider adding an Aboriginal print to your collection, remember that opting for an original work is an investment in culture, community, and ethical practices. Plus, your home will feel all the better for it.
