Marcus 'Double O' Camphoo Kemarre has been painting since 2017, developing and becoming known for his signature minimalist style of action painting. The small handful of deceptively simple grid-and-band compositions that he paints are seemingly guided by a set of fluid formulae and mental mathematics. They are acts of compulsion or stereotypy, taking the same form as sketches that he makes on pieces of scrap paper and is rumoured to have drawn since childhood. The paintings resonate like portals reaching into space, the artist’s psyche or an altogether different dimension.

Marcus has shown with the Tennant Creek Brio at the 20th Biennale of Sydney Nirin, NGV Melbourne Design Week 2022, in a recent survey show of the groups work, Tennant Creek Brio: Juparnta Ngau Minjinypa Iconocrisis at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art and at other shows in Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Alice Springs, Darwin and New Zealand. In 2024 Marcus had his debut solo exhibition, MARKUSOOH, MAKASOOH, MARUSOOH, at 8 Hele gallery, Alice Springs. In February 2025 he exhibited at Melbourne Art Fair with 8 Hele gallery and cbOne gallery.

Marcus' work has been acquired in Australia by the National Gallery of Victoria, Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art, Australian National University's Drill Hall Gallery and Araluen Art Centre, as well as the Fondation Opale in Switzerland. His work has also belongs to various important private collections in Australia.



About Aboriginal Contemporary

Aboriginal Contemporary has an enviable reputation for quality, service and ethical trading; not just with our customers but with the art centres from whom we source our work.

This is in no small part due to owner Nichola Dare’s regular trips to some of the most remote parts of Australia and her ability to build relationships with art centres and artists, based on mutual trust and respect. Nichola’s time in Australia’s Western Desert, The Kimberley, APY Lands and Arnhem Land has also given her a deep understanding of the country and culture at the heart of the art we sell.
