Another artist I've been introduced to recently is Vernon Ah Kee - another Brisbane based, text-using contemporary Indigenous artist. What stands out to me about Ah Kee are his amazingly beautiful drawings and his ability to incorporate different mediums (text, drawing, video, sculptural elements) together with ease in his portraits.
