WELCOME to Gannon House Gallery

Investment Aboriginal Art is much sought after, and many pieces of our aboriginal artists works are purchased as investments for the future, as well as for their visual and emotional appeal. Authentic Aboriginal Art is culture expressed as art - a visual history captured in colour and form that explains the mysteries of life and of existence.

Our gallery has dealt directly with over 200 different artists and their communities from the central and western desert regions and Arnhem Land. This relationship gives us the opportunity to show the best in investment and collectable art and artefacts from these areas and source talented emerging artists from these areas.

Gannon House Gallery would like to invite you to view our selection of contemporary Aboriginal Art (canvas paintings, bark paintings, works on paper, artefacts, didgeridoos).

He has since emerged as one of the most well known senior Pintupi painters. He also helped raise the artist Joseph Tjapaltjarri, who was only a boy when brought into Papunya by the Northern Territory Welfare Branch patrols in the 1960’s.
