Kate Owen Gallery: bringing Aboriginal art and culture to the world since 2007
We are a multiple award winning gallery in Sydney’s Inner West, specialising in contemporary Aboriginal art for modern interiors.
Our Sydney Aboriginal art gallery showcases a large number and a diverse range of styles from Indigenous Australian artists located across the country.
Stretching over 600 square metres on three floors, the gallery showcases major exhibitions of established Indigenous masters and exciting new talent. Artworks range from small, affordable paintings to large, investment pieces.
Our wide and wonderful collection of Indigenous Australian art is available to view and secure on our user-friendly website. Or you can delve into our articles about Aboriginal art and culture.

There is something undeniably captivating about black and white. Without colour, every line, mark and pattern comes into focus, revealing the depth, movement and stories within each artwork.

It has never been so easy: If you don't know much about Aboriginal art but you want to look at styles and the range available, visit our Collections page where we have gone through our entire selection of stunning Australian Aboriginal artworks and compiled a huge range of collections and themes for you to explore.
You can also use our Search Aboriginal Artworks tool where you can select price, colours, sizes, shapes, styles, regions and a whole lot of other criteria to find an artwork that's exactly right for you.
While you are scrolling through, you can save your favourite pieces as a 'wish list. We have also incorporated a lot of great tools, such as our ‘see art on wall’ or ‘rotate artwork’ options.
Artist in Residence Programs
As well as showcasing roughly eight exhibitions each year, we also include an artist in residence program! This program sees Kate Owen Gallery sponsoring Indigenous artists to travel from remote communities and come and spend one to three weeks painting in the gallery. Each residency is combined with an exhibition of the artist’s works. Previous artist in residence programs have included: Goompi Ugerabah, Stephen Berger, Sarrita and Tarisse King, Helen McCarthy, Alma Nungurrayi Granites, Julie and Sabrina Nangala, Chantelle Nampijinpa Robertson, Christine Napanangka Michaels, Barbara Weir, Lizzie Pwerle and Teresa Pula.
Please note: due to the incredible family and cultural responsibilities many of our artists hold, these artist in residence programs are subject to change at late notice. Join our mailing list to stay in the loop.
Established Collectible Artists
The unique third level Collectors' Gallery is dedicated to highly collectible and museum-quality works from Australia's leading indigenous artists, many of whom spearheaded the Aboriginal art movement. Artworks range from the famous Clifford Possum and Naata Nungurayi from the western desert, the extraordinary Emily Kngwarreye and her extended family members from Utopia, Kimberley masters such as Queenie Mackenzie and Jack Dale, APY Lands legends including Jimmy Baker, to the highly sought after intensely colourful works of Tommy Watson and many, many more.
New Emerging Talent
For the more speculative buyer or simply for lovers of beautiful art, our newly established and emerging Aboriginal artists are a source of spiritual energy as well as brilliant images with a wealth of variety in colour, texture, subject matter and technique.
Like any good gallery, we select those with an individual 'voice', even at the early stages of their painting career – artists we believe have the potential to grow and develop artistically.
Ethics & Authenticity
Each painting is sold with a Certificate of Authenticity guaranteeing the provenance of the work. The Gallery is a proud member of The Aboriginal Art Association of Australia (AAAA), an Association that binds members to a strict code of conduct, so visitors can be assured that artists are dealt with fairly, transparently and with respect. We are an apolitical gallery which, above all, honours the right of artists everywhere to create their works where and how they wish.
