Australian indigenous artist Gordon Hookey's artistic reputation extends far beyond the traditional confines of the art gallery walls. 
Gordon Hookey Gordon Hookey / Artistic director biography
Hookey’s bold paintings and mixed media installations are overtly political and provocative, utilising iconic Australian imagery juxtaposed with quick wit and scathing humour to comment on the meeting of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australian cultures. Presented in an explosion of raw emotion and frustration, Hookey brings to the foreground a number of historical and contemporary political issues, from deep seeded matters on Indigenous injustices, to the war in Iraq, the relationship between Australia and other Western Countries, immigration, and federal politics.
Information /
Hookey has exhibited work in solo and group shows in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France and New Caledonia. Hookey was a participating artist in On Reason and Emotion, the 2004 Biennale of Sydney. Multi-award winning Hookey has completed residencies at Otago University, Dunedin, NZ, Banff Centre, Banff, Canada, and at Gertrude Street Contemporary Art Space, Melbourne, Australia, and has received several Australia Council grants. His work is held in the public collection most major Australian galleries as well as public collections in the United Kingdom, Japan, New Zealand and Canada
