The hit Netflix series After Life has come under fire for using a 'fake' Aboriginal painting done by a British artist.  

Aboriginal elders have condemned the show's use of the painting and said female artist Timna Woollard should not have painted it because she is a woman. 

The large dot-painting is featured in the lounge room of Ricky Gervais's character, providing the backdrop for major scenes in the series.
