Gordon Hookey (born 1961 in 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 in his studio
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]
His work is part of numerous museum collections among which the Aboriginal Art Museum Utrecht, in the Netherlands. On the occasion of the closure of the museum, the Amsterdam based art platform Framer Framed organised the exhibition In the future everything will be as certain as it used to be (2017) where his work was shown.[6]
