Daniel Boyd's first major Australian solo exhibition has opened at Sydney's Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Taking its name from Robert Louis Stevenson's eponymous novel Treasure Island, the show traces two decades of the artist's practice, which engages with Australia's colonial histories.
Born in 1982 in Cairns, Queensland, Boyd graduated in 2005 from the Australian National University's School of Art & Design in Canberra. Since then, he has developed a multidisciplinary practice spanning painting, video, installation, and sculpture.
Sharing the same title as the artist's Australian institutional show, Boyd presented painting and multimedia works at Kukje Gallery in Seoul last year, marking his first exhibition in South Korea.
