X-Ray art is a traditional style used by the people of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory in Australia to depict native animals and to share cultural stories.The anatomical features of the animals seen in x-ray art are painted to show what the animal looks like inside, illustrating bone structures and organs. This style of x-ray painting helps to create a three-dimensional effect of the animal. This art work was inspired by this style of art.
