Renowned artist Reko Rennie joins NGV Senior Curator Myles Russell-Cook for a conversation reflecting on Rennie’s career to date and his distinctive artistic style, blending iconography from his Kamilaroi heritage with contemporary media, and exploring the complexities of his Aboriginal identity and Melbourne upbringing. This program celebrates the opening of the artist’s solo exhibition, REKOSPECTIVE: The Art of Reko Rennie at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia.

ABOUT REKO RENNIE

Reko Rennie is an interdisciplinary artist who explores his Aboriginal identity through contemporary media.

Through his art, Rennie provokes discussion surrounding Indigenous culture and identity in contemporary urban environments.

Largely autobiographical, his commanding works combine the iconography of his Kamilaroi heritage with stylistic elements of graffiti. Merging traditional diamond-shaped designs, hand-drawn symbols and repetitive patterning to subvert romantic ideologies of Aboriginal identity.
