Reko Rennie pairs inherited Kamilaroi iconographies with the visual languages of street art to examine issues of Indigenous visibility. In his ‘ALWAYS’ series, he pays homage to traditional shields and the diamond geometric forms found on dendroglyphs (carved trees) on Kamilaroi country, reimagining them in bold patterning. The shield forms and camouflage allude to combat and resistance, but the artist also includes camouflage as an aesthetic composition. In this, Rennie’s work is reminiscent of Andy Warhol’s 1980s rendering of the motif in bright and garish colours. Like Warhol, Rennie reverses camouflage’s original functions, commanding attention and visibility.
