The Desert Mob 2008 Art Show in Alice Springs, which is held at the Araluen Arts Centre, is now in its eighteenth year. It is a survey of new work from central Australian art centres who form Desart. Though Desert Mob is all about buying and selling there is nothing online.
Via this link from Utopia region, with its I've picked up an artist from this culture who has broken with the traditional style:
Kudditji Kngwarreye, My Country, Acrylic on Linen, Japinka
Kuddtji commenced painting in the early eighties, along with the best of the original Papunya Tula Artists is is a Traditional Custodian of his country situated approximately 230 kms north east of Alice Springs and is the brother of renowned artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye.
He broke from the traditional style, to work with abstract images constructed from broad strokes and a combination of vivid, bold colours that characterizes Emily Kame Kngwarreye's last series of work.
There is an exhibition> of Emily Kame Kngwarreye work (from 1988 until her death in late 1996) at the National Museum in Canberra.
