Autor/-in: Vincent Namatjira

Vincent Namatjira is one of Australia's most witty and subversive portraitists, with his paintings offering a wry look at the politics of history, power and leadership from a contemporary Aboriginal perspective. Vincent was the winner of the 2019 Ramsay Art Prize at the Art Gallery of South Australia, and in 2020 he was the first Indigenous artist to win the Archibald Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. He received the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2020 in honour of his contribution to Indigenous visual arts.
