Dallas Kelly is a younger generation artist from Injalak Arts, Arnhem Land, Born in 1980s he is the son of Shirley Nganjmirra and David Kelly. Dallas paints the wildlife of his region, such as the barramundi and catfish, which are major ancestral creation figures of his Country.

Called Namarnkol, the barramundi, is a very important fish for  Bininj (Aboriginal people). Namarnkol are found in the ocean, in floodwaters, and in freshwater billabongs, rivers and creeks. In the old days, people used to spear them with djalakirradj (three-pronged fish spears) and walabi (traditional triangular nets). Today they are caught with fishing lines and modern nets. Namarnkol are most easily caught from the end of the monsoon (March -April) until the humid “build up” season (October-November). There are sites in lots of clan countries where the ancestral Barramundi placed itself as a Dreaming. Men and women will say “My Dreaming is Barramundi, it placed itself in my country”.
