Alcaston Gallery presents a new body of work by one of Australia’s most innovative and exciting contemporary Indigenous artists, Tiger Yaltangki, in his eighth solo exhibition High Voltage.

In creating his bold and vibrant artworks, Yaltangki merges elements from his traditional Anangu heritage with his avid appreciation for popular culture, in particular his obsession with Rock n Roll music, to create a whimsical visual universe where vivid characters come to life within striking abstract landscapes.

High Voltage is Yaltangki’s homage to the legendary and iconic Australian rock band, AC/DC, with their distinctive logo and incendiary worship of the electric guitar inspiring Yaltangki’s most recent creative output. The unparalleled energy of AC/DC’s music pulsates through the works, as Yaltangki embraces the dynamism and originality to transcend all artistic boundaries, resulting in an explosion of colour, strength and unique self-expression.
