Gordon Hookey is born in Cloncurry, Queensland, belongs to the Waanyi people, and lives and works in Brisbane, where he is represented by Milani Gallery. His work is known for occupying a space where Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal cultures converge. He often combines figurative characters, iconic symbols, bold sections of text, and vibrant colours. Through this idiosyncratic visual language he has developed a unique and immediately recognisable style.
