Gordon Hookey

Gordon Hookey was born in north-west Queensland in 1961. He is a Waanyi person. In 1992 he completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales and has exhibited as an artist from this time. In the past decade, Hookey has had several solo exhibitions and participated in group shows both in Australia and overseas. His paintings and installations address contact history and Aboriginal identity in a deliberately provocative manner. Often incorporating images from media and popular culture, Hookey’s practice has a sharp, satirical edge. Hookey’s work is part of the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of Western Australia and Queensland Art Gallery collections.
