Inspired by Ken Done

Ken Done is one of Australia's most notable artists. Defying the art industry by finding success without their help, Ken rose to popularity with the masses due to his naive, joyful paintings of iconic Australiana. Ken's artworks are bright explosions of line and pattern, and have adorned many homes by featuring on bed linens, bags and crockery. In this curation, discover a range of artists with works resembling Ken's ever-popular style and themes. Bring bold, bright colour and fun into your home with artworks inspired by this Aussie great.

Our upcoming Ken Done: Twenty Years exhibition runs from October 7th to November 5th and showcases 26 of Ken's artworks from the last 20 years. Our gallery is located at 330 Bridge Rd, Richmond.

Curated by Christina McDonald

A woman looks defeated and overwhelmed. She is naked on top and wears fishnet stockings. Colourful hills are in the background, and beside her a baby's pram. The sky is a beautiful cool blue. The figure is somewhat abstracted.
