OA_CAMO
Reko Rennie’s OA_CAMO mural is an extension of his Visible Invisible
series which inverts the idea of camouflage. Traditionally, camouflage
conceals or disguises animals or objects by using a combination of
materials and colouration to optically confuse the observer. Rennie’s use of
camouflage amplifies, rather than conceals, his identity. The use of
luminous colours commands attention and asserts a cultural presence in
contemporary Australian art.
