Adam Hill employs wit and sardonic humour to make his powerful social and political statements. Often using patriotic symbols and familiar political and social figures, his work can be seen as a cultural diary that maps Australia’s race relations. The daily news is often a source for his contemporary paintings that make use of clever puns, song lyrics and deliberate misspellings of titles.
