Ken Done
As one of the country's favourite cultural icons, Ken Done requires no introduction. Straddling the worlds of design, illustration and fine art, his wildly evocative work captures the essence of Australia with bold strokes and bright colours. Inimitably recognisable, his striking, signature style has engaged the eye, the heart and the imagination of the Australian public for decades and continues to inspire each successive generation of art lovers, creatives and tourists. At once decorative, illustrative and abstract, a selection of over 400 of Ken Done's landscape works are collected in four beautifully packaged collectable books, categorised by the subject matter that has defined his career: Sydney, the Outback, the reef and the beach. Creative, optimistic and bold, Ken Done's work reflects the vibrant heart of Australia and Australians.
About the Author:
Ken Done's first exhibition was held in Sydney in 1980. Since then, he has held over 50 solo shows, including major exhibitions in Australia, Europe, Japan and the USA and become a beloved cultural icon. His work has been described as the most original style to come out of Australia.
