Quilty
When you are recognisable by just your surname (Bowie, Lennon, Einstein, Clinton, Tolstoy…etc etc!) you know you have hit the big time. Quilty is the first major survey exhibition of acclaimed Australian artist Ben Quilty. Quilty is known for masterfully communicating complex social issues through his arresting and highly textured paintings, including explorations of modern masculinity, the experiences of Australian service personnel, and the global refugee crisis. His work is fierce, uncompromising, and always deeply compassionate. For those who can’t get to AGSA, this touring exhibition is also visiting Brisbane and Sydney!
