Warm Ties

Overview

This hard-hitting exhibition by Australian artist Helen Johnson shines a satirical light on Australia's history, examining the violence, corruption, and bribery at the heart of the country's past. Massive, heavily-textured paintings done on unstretched canvas, Johnson's works use a ribald caricature-like style to make a searing critique of the British colonialists who landed in Australia and claimed it as their own.
