Kaylene Whiskey

Australian Women ArtistsThe podcastEp 48 Kaylene Whiskey(A conversation with Professor Dr Natalie King OAM)I’m excited to bring this episode to you. I'm talking to Professor Dr Natalie King OAM and we are discussing the incredible unique work of indigenous artist Kaylene Whiskey. Natalie King is an Australian curator, writer, editor and Professor of Visual Arts, Victorian College of the Arts at the University of Melbourne. She has curated three national pavilions at the Venice Biennale (including the Australian Pavilion 2017, the Aotearoa New Zealand Pavilion 2022 and the inaugural Timor-Leste Pavilion 2024). She has contributed to many leading international art publications and serves as President of Australia (International Association of Art Critics, Paris). Her most recent publication is The Art of Kaylene Whiskey: Do you believe in Love? A monograph edited by Natalie and the team at Iwantja Arts. It's the first major monograph of Kaylene's work. Kaylene Whiskey is a Yankunytjatjara artist born in Indulkana, South Australia, and is one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Australian art. Living and working in the APY Lands, Kaylene creates paintings that combine the vivid visual language of desert art with the glitter and glamour of global pop culture. Her works are filled with famous and iconic women who coexist with Anangu women in scenes of daily life, dance, and laughter. Through this vibrant and unexpected fusion, Kaylene Whiskey redefines what contemporary Indigenous art can be. Join me in this fabulous conversation by heading to the link in my bio above. www.natalieking.com.auhttps://thamesandhudson.com.au/products/art-of-kaylene-whiskey-do-you-believe-in-loveImages (details)KW by Jackson LeeMichael J 2018 acrylic on linen 91 x 122Do You Believe In Love? 2019 acrylic on linen 167 x 198Seven Sisters Song 2021 water based enamel on SA Tourist Attraction road sign 120 x 180 x 3Flying Over Indulkana 2022 acrylic on digital print on rag paper 91 x 156Dolly's Birthday 2024 acrylic on linen 167 x 198The book
