I love to listen to her music while I paint: \"9 to 5\", \"Coat of many colours\", \"Jolene\", and my number one, \"Islands in the stream\" with Kenny Rogers. I often think if Dolly came to visit, what would she do? What would she say? And what would she be wearing?' - \u003cstrong\u003eKaylene Whiskey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKaylene 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHer 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by the renowned curator Natalie King and the team at Iwantja Arts, \u003cem\u003eThe Art of Kaylene Whiskey: Do You Believe in Love?\u003c\/em\u003e is the first major monograph on the artist.
