Art lovers can now step into an Australian exhibition that reveals the Aboriginal history of the world's longest stock route through the deserts of Western Australia in Delhi.
'Yiwarra Kuju: The Canning Stock Route' provides a window on the artistic, cultural and natural worlds of the Aboriginal people of Australia's Western Desert.
The artists draw on both traditional art conventions and new figurative styles to recount their sacred and secular life experiences through their art.
Nearly 70 artists travelled along the 1850-kilometre stock route on a six-week intensive engagement with their country in July and August 2007.
The iconography of desert art is complex. Artists combine symbols, such as concentric circles, bars, footprints, horseshoe shapes and lines, to convey sacred stories.
The works created for 'The Canning Stock Route' are exuberant, vividly coloured, and highly energetic, conceived by the artists to express the joy of telling their stories.
Over 100 artworks were produced during the expedition and a selection of these is now on display at DLF Place Saket until 22 June, 2015.
