Ames Yavuz proudly presents Urban Rite, our debut solo exhibition with acclaimed artist Reko Rennie. 

In Urban Rite, Rennie unveils a commanding new body of paintings that marks a fresh direction in his practice. Introducing figurative elements, these works foreground personal narratives and glimpses into Rennie’s day-to-day experiences, merged and remixed with iconography drawn from his Kamilaroi heritage. ‘Urban Rite’ offers an unapologetic exploration of Indigenous identity, sovereignty and presence within the urban landscape, with each canvas reclaiming and redefining space through Rennie’s signature bold, abstracted style. The exhibition coincides with his major survey at the National Gallery of Victoria.
