Gordon Hookey
Gordon Hookey is an Australian aboriginal artist from the Waanyi people. He has a Bachelor of Fine Arts and lives in Brisbane, Australia. He is primarily known as a painter but his practice also involves sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, and to a lesser extent, animation.
Hookey is a core member of the Brisbane-based Indigenous collective proppaNOW, alongside artists including Richard Bell, Vernon Ah Kee, Jennifer Herd, Laurie Nilsen, Tony Albert and Megan Cope.
Hookey has been exhibited in the Sydney Biennale with Paranoia Annoy Ya. He had an exhibition called Ruddock's Wheel, which made fun of a comment by Philip Ruddock who said that aborigines had not used the wheel.
Gordon Hookey is represented by Nellie Castan Gallery in Melbourne and Milani Gallery in Brisbane, Australia.
