Video: Gary Willis -2

• Email to a friend

Gary Willis has done it all, from ground breaking performance and video art in the seventies to painting in practically every genre- hard edged abstraction, expressionism, realism, whatever was required at the time. He has shown extensively in Australia as well as New York, London, Paris and Tokyo. He has been included in the Sydney Biennale twice and has work in the National Gallery of Australia. He has been a Buddhist monk and a New York punk, a curator, an author, a teacher and an academic. He has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Arthur Boyd, John Cage, Carl Andre, he even rates a mention in the Diaries of Andy Warhol.
