CATEGORY: Portraits (a model release form from the subject must be supplied)
ARTIST STATEMENT:
For many years I have followed the work and career of Australian political artist Peter Drew, drawn mostly to his AUSSIE posters that seemed to pop up all around every city I visited in australia. His use of portraits of non white immigrants to Australia acts as a challenge to racists who want australia to be a ‘white’ country.
MEDIUM: Oil on linen
ARTWORK DIMENSIONS (width x height): 500mm x 400mm
WEIGHT (approx): 1kg
ARTIST LOCATION: AIREYS INLET, VIC
