Arnhem Land
Tiwi Island
Arnhem Land styles include Cross hatching or Rark, natural pigments on bark and a restricted pallet. Tiwi art is distinct from that of Arnhem Land. Compared with Arnhem Land art, Tiwi art often appears to be abstract and geometric. With its strong patterns and use of colour, Tiwi art is recognised as being very attractive and highly collectable[4]. There is no 'story' as such for individual paintings, however they practise body painting for ceremonial reasons.
