I love to listen to her music while I paint: \"9 to 5\", \"Coat of many colours\", \"Jolene\", and my number one, \"Islands in the stream\" with Kenny Rogers. I often think if Dolly came to visit, what would she do? What would she say? And what would she be wearing?' - \u003cb\u003eKaylene Whiskey.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKaylene Whiskey's paintings dazzle with brightly coloured pop stars rendered in dots and set amongst her own community in remote Central Australia. She depicts female pop culture icons - including Dolly Parton, Tina Turner, Catwoman, Cher and Wonder Woman - all connected to the Kungkarangkalpa Tjukurpa, or Seven Sisters Story. These heroines, however, are shown partying at Iwantja Art Centre in Indulkana, South Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer comic-book style and text bubbles are hilarious yet potent symbols of female power in an Aboriginal setting. A joyful visual anthem, Whiskey's work draws from the country music, rock'n'roll and Anangu songs played in her household growing up. An in-depth interview with the artist punctuates the richly illustrated pages in which Whiskey describes her creative process - blending Anangu traditions with contemporary culture by painting jugs of Coca-Cola alongside mingkulpa (native bush tobacco), lollipops, honey ants and love hearts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdited by the renowned curator Natalie King and the team at Iwantja Arts, \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Kaylene Whiskey: Do You Believe in Love?\u003c\/i\u003e is the first major monograph on the artist. Colourfully designed throughout and featuring a dynamic lenticular cover, the volume also includes contributions from notable creatives Taika Waititi, Jazz Money, Zoé Whitley, Clothilde Bullen and April Phillips.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atticus Bookshop Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47419215872249,"sku":"9781760764494","price":90.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/4535\/6025\/files\/kaylene_whiskey.webp?v=1771114786","url":"https:\/\/www.atticusbooksandart.com.au\/products\/the-art-of-kaylene-whiskey-do-you-believe-in-love","provider":"Atticus Bookshop Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
