Hookey in his studio
Gordon Hookey (born 1961 Cloncurry) is an Australian aboriginal artist from the Waanyi people.[1] He has a Bachelor of Fine Arts (1992) 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.[2]
Hookey is a core member of the Brisbane-based Indigenous collective proppaNOW.
Hookey has been exhibited in the Sydney Biennale with Paranoia Annoy Ya.[3] 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.[4]
