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\u003e Kaylene 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\u003e Her 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\u003e Edited 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":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Art of Kaylene Whiskey: Do You Believe in Love?","offer_id":45083952480453,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/art-of-kaylene-whiskey-do-you-believe-in-love","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
