Mason Gallery

Mason Gallery Premium quality Australian Aboriginal Art Gallery, with an extensive selection of art and handcrafts With great sadness, Reg Mason passed away in December 2006.

In September 1982, Reg and Debra Mason and their family, went into Arnhemland for work. Shortly after their arrival, the local Aboriginal population of the Oenpelli area approached Reg to buy their paintings. Reg did so for some time, but the quantity of work became so great that he found it necessary to market some of the collection – and the Arnhemland Art Gallery was born. Over the next few yea

rs, Reg became the largest dealer of work from the Western Arnhemland area, and the family lived in the region for 20 years. His children grew up with the local community, and the family were widely recognised as being culturally acceptable by the local clans. Major galleries around the country were supplied with artworks, and many of the pieces that now hang in the Museums and Public Art Galleries around Australia and internationally had their origins with Arnhemland Art. In 1997, the Arnhemland Art Gallery was opened in Darwin by Vicki Mason, Reg and Debra’s daughter, to provide a retail outlet for the major works coming out of Arnhemland. While the gallery was successful, many people also wanted to purchase works from the Central regions of Australia, and the name of the gallery was changed to Mason Gallery. Reg and Debra’s son, Tony, moved to Alice Springs in 2001, where he now sources the works from Central Australia. The Mason Gallery displays works by many of the major artists from the Western Desert, Utopia Eastern Desert, Arnhemland and the Top End. It is the ambition of the gallery to become a provider of quality works from these regions. Debra, Tony and Vicki maintain the reputation of presenting high quality Aboriginal Art, and Reg’s ambition has gradually, but undeniably, taken shape.

This painting relates to the tales of a mythological being from the creation time,
at ceremony sites associated with Sophia’s Country. These locations are an important source of freshwater, and the celebration of these sites is in recognition of ancestral activities referred to as “tjukurrpa”. The series of concentric circles represent significant locations used for ceremonial sites. The overlay patterns of the painting represent the physical features of the landscape. This includes the sand-hill country (tali) and the rocky outcrops (puli) creek beds and soakages, as well as bush tucker that is hunted and collected whilst moving from one water source to the next.

Stories, or 'Dreaming of the Tingari Cycle are an important body of myth concerning the Tingari ancestors of the creative Dreamtime (or 'Dreaming'), period. The Tingari men and women traveled across great distances and laid down a body of ceremonies and other law which subsequently formed the basis of young men's higher (meaning post-initiation) education. During the creation era, Tingari ancestors gathered at a series of sites for Initiation Ceremonies. They traveled from across the country, performing rituals at specific sites that created the natural features of the landscape.

🎣 Happy as... Larry?

It’s impossible for me to not name this 9.4kg big fella ‘Larry’. Honestly, Thomas Munkanome has a way of bringing these Ironwood characters to life✨

Even the fish looks pretty stoked—possibly because he’s officially the one that got away (well, almost).

There is a unique power in the sound of a handcrafted bullroarer—a deep, rhythmic vibration that has carried through generations.

Each of these pieces is more than an instrument; it’s a connection to Country. Carved from Darwin Wattle Wood by George Tipo aka Dilmyeng and and meticulously painted with traditional motifs, by Melissa Yaram.

When swung, the “voice of ancestral spirits” commands attention, traditionally used to ward off evil spirits, secret men’s business still used amongst Aboriginal Tribal groups and to communicate across vast distances.

Artist Philip Gudthaykudthay aka “Pussycat” was born in the early 1920's, Ramingining, Central Arnhem Land. In 1994 he created this piece Titled: Water Lilly Roots

This painting represents the water lilies that frequent the Arafura swamp in the homeland of the artist. Throughout this area there are many magpie geese which are the main totem species of the owners of this land. The geese feed and nest among the lilies and this is why they are of significant importance to the land, community and animals and why he painted them. He painted this on Arches Rives paper with natural ochre. In 2010 he was commissioned to create murals for Ramingining Men’s Safe House.

His work is held in many galleries in Australia including National Gallery of Australia and Victoria, Mason Gallery and internationally including the British Museum.
What a treasure this would be to own ✨
