Rosella Namok
Rosella Namok (b.1979) is an Indigenous Australian artist from Lockhart River, Queensland.
She was taught art at high school and learned printmaking and other techniques through a community art project in 1997 that led to the formation of a group of artists known as the Lockhart River Art Gang. The Art Gang is distinctive for being a successful Indigenous art movement made up of young members of the community, in contrast to movements such as Papunya Tula, which emerged from amongst a community's traditional elders.
Namok is notable for her paintings. Aged 21, Namok won the Australian Heritage Commission's Lin Onus Youth Award for Indigenous art. In 2003, Namok's nine-panel painting won the High Court Centenary Art Prize.
By 2007 she had held eighteen solo exhibitions in Australia and overseas, including New York and Berlin. She is regarded as an important contemporary Australian artist whose works attract high prices in the art market.
