Emerging Indigenous Artist Reece George To Exhibit “mardu: One Of Us” At Rosnay Organic Wines

4 June, 2025 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

Reece George at the opening of the Central Belonging Art Award at CRAG, in which he was a finalist with his painting Birds on a Wire Fence; Rece’s paintings Cawcophony and Rabbit Proof Fence Mile f484.

Rosnay Organic Wines is excited to an­nounce an upcoming exhibition of contem­porary Indigenous art by the rapidly rising artist Reece George. The exhibition will be held from Saturday, June 7th, to Sunday, July 27th, 2025, providing locals and visi­tors a wonderful opportunity to experience the compelling storytelling and fresh artistic perspective of one of Australia’s most excit­ing new talents.

Reece George, a contemporary painter based in Woodstock, NSW, is quickly gain­ing recognition for his distinctive style that blends Indigenous Australian storytelling with a bold, modern aesthetic. His works feature stylised animals, including dingoes, birds, and rabbits, often adorned with sun­glasses and intricate patterns. George’s paintings are characterised by rich tex­tures, a striking colour palette of earthy ochres, deep blacks, and bright oranges, and an intuitive use of dot and line work that pays homage to Indigenous artistic tra­ditions.

“At the heart of my practice is a playful yet deeply cultural exploration of identity, community, and connection to the land,”

says George. “My paintings are invitations to see through my eyes, to feel the pulse of the land, and to connect with stories that are both deeply personal and universally human.”

Building on that sense of shared experi­ence, George explains that the word “mar­du” means “person” in the Martu language — but it carries a deeper meaning: “we are connected, you are one of us, we share to­gether.”

The exhibition will officially open with a special afternoon tea event on Sunday, 8 June at 2pm at Rosnay Organic Wines. At­tendees will have the opportunity to meet the artist, hear firsthand about his inspira­tions and techniques, and enjoy a compli­mentary afternoon tea and a glass of Ros­nay Organic Wine.
