Reko Rennie
Reko Rennie is a Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay/Gummaroi man, born in Melbourne. Without any formal training, Reko has matured into an interrogative and highly innovative street artist. Through his art, Reko explores what it means to be an urban Aboriginal in contemporary Australian society.
His art and installations continually explore issues of identity, race, law and justice, land rights, stolen generations and other issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in contemporary society.
This COME OUT exhibition presents Reko’s characteristic vibrant colours, line work and intricate stencil imagery. Drawing inspiration from his Aboriginal heritage, the artist recreates traditional images in a contemporary context using spray paint and stencils. His work often features the characteristic flora and fauna that represent his community.
