Kaylene Whiskey


Kaylene Whiskey has emerged in the past decade as one of the most idiosyncratic and sought after artists working in Australia. Whiskey works across painting, drawing, collage, and video. Her videos works are particularly captivating in their filmic graphic inventiveness, combining conventional camera work with digital animation overlays, stop motion filmmaking, and original soundtracks incorporating the artist’s voice.

Whiskey incorporates pop culture references alongside traditional Anangu culture, in playful but richly layered interpretations of her Personal experience of contemporary life in a remote Central Australian Indigenous community.

Kaylene images are joyous and are widely recognised for their celebration of strong kungkas (women) — often pop culture icons including Wonder Woman, Tina Turner, Cher and Dolly Parton — who are relocated from LA and Nashville to remote desert community landscapes.
