Original Aboriginal

Reko is an interdisciplinary artist who explores his Aboriginal identity through contemporary media. His art is a tribute to the Kamilaroi people, one of the four largest indigenous tribes in Australia. He uses traditional geometric patterns that represent his community and through his art, Reko provokes the dialogue surrounding indigenous culture and identity in contemporary urban environments. He has been showcased internationally in countries like Paris, Berlin, Italy, Jakarta, Shanghai and USA.

Reko worked in close collaboration with a team of Indian painters, interacting with local communities and their artistic traditions. His work is a contradiction of cultural reference points, from traditional geometric patterning of the Kamilaroi people to contemporary New York graffiti, combining elements of pop art with geometric abstraction.
