Royal feature
KickArts presents a series of paintings from indigenous artist Adrian King this month
Adrian King is a Lama Lama man from Cape York Peninsula, Queensland.
He lives in Lockhart River and is a member of the acclaimed Lockhart River Art Gang.
The Art Gang’s work is a response to the environment, culture and traditions of this Aboriginal community. It expresses some of the realities of being Aboriginal and the influences of traditional culture and values in their world. The art from Lockhart River promotes the identity of young Aboriginal people in contemporary Australian culture.
Adrian has exhibited widely over the past 11 years, including solo exhibitions at Andrew Baker Art Dealer in Brisbane and Alcaston Gallery in Melbourne, along with group exhibitions at the Institute of American Indian Art, Santa Fe, New Mexico and the Booker-Lowe Gallery in Houston, Texas, with other members of the Lockhart River Art Gang.
>> Adrian King’s work is on display at the Artists’ feature wall until September 5. Entry is free.
