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.

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.

Edited by the renowned curator Natalie King and the team at Iwantja Arts, The Art of Kaylene Whiskey: Do You Believe in Love? 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.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
'This is me, Super Kaylene, flying through the sky! I'm flying over Indulkana, my home. The sun is shining and bringing out the colours of our beautiful desert Country. Whenever I go travelling I always come back home to Country, friends and family - I'm just like the boomerang!

I've always loved lenticular prints - I sometimes collect ones of the Virgin Mary to decorate my home - so it's been very special to make my own Super Kaylene lenticular - people can put this kungka kunpu (strong woman) in their home and it will make them feel strong too, and happy in their heart. Love, Kaylene.'
