Ames Yavuz, a leading contemporary art gallery in the Asia Pacific, presents its second solo exhibition by Western Aranda artist Vincent Namatjira OAM. Titled King Dingo, the exhibition features an ambitious new body of work, alongside two significant new paintings by artistic duo Alec Baker and Eric Barney, who are from Namatjira’s home in Indulkana, South Australia. King Dingo will be presented from 31 August – 5 October 2024 at Ames Yavuz’s second Sydney space on Commonwealth Street in Surry Hills, Sydney.

Featuring major paintings that depict a dingo dressed in royal regalia, Namatjira’s new series is imbued with the artist’s signature biting and irreverent wit. King Dingo presents subversive portraits that are an unapologetic celebration of Aboriginal leadership, influenced by Namatjira’s ongoing research and engagement with his great-grandfather Albert Namatjira’s work as well as his own recent plein air painting expeditions on Country.
