Clayton Tremlett is an contemporary Australian printmaker whose work is influenced by the country's historical narratives. In this print, the artist celebrates two heroes from different eras. In 'The Courage to Stand Against', an engraving of infamous Ned Kelly is juxtaposed with the bulldog, a contemporary celebrity mascot of AFL fame. Tremlett has taken two mass-produced images, which for better or worse, are a part of Australian popular culture, encouraging viewers to re-interpret our past and our present. 

An innovator in printmaking techniques, Tremlett has exhibited extensively across Australia and is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, Geelong Gallery, Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, Bendigo Art Gallery among other public and private collections nationally and internationally. For examiners or enjoyers of Australian history, Tremlett is a rewarding find.
