RE: An unexpected doctors visit yesterday proved very revealing regarding the paintings I admired.
I really like the way the sky is drawn in most of them. It's got that style you used to see a lot on art or video games from the '80s, with lines going all the way down to the horizon. I can't say I've seen it too often in actual paintings. Thanks for sharing the work of this artist, I looked up a few more on his website. They really do tell a lot about the plight of the indigenous people of Australia.
Yes, some of his other works are a lot heavier themed. Addressing the high rate of incarceration and deaths in custody, and the continued mistreatment of the indigenous Australians.
The attempted genocide of our oldest existing culture on the planet and it's survival in spite of these attacks.
His style is very cool too. He was born in 1970, so the 80s influence is probably spot on.
Thank you for your interest.
