Artist Dennis Golding was raised on Gadigal Country in Sydney and stems from the Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay people of Northwest NSW and Biripi people of Mid-north coast of NSW. Dennis’ major new commissioned artwork Bingo (2025) features in the new exhibition The Neighbour at the Gate at NAS Gallery. Hear directly from the artist speaking about this new commission and the many achievements in his artistic career over the past decade.  

Dennis Golding’s art practice critiques the social, political and cultural representations of race and identity, drawing from his own experiences living in urban environments and through childhood memories. Golding graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) at UNSW Art & Design in 2019 and now works independently as an artist and curator. His work has been exhibited at major institutions including the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney Living Museums, and Carriageworks. He has been commissioned for various public art installations around Sydney and in 2020, he was awarded the Create NSW Visual Arts Fellowship.
