Lot description

GORDON BENNETT (1955-2014) Psychotopographical Landscape (Cage) 1991 oil on canvas signed, titled and dated verso: "Psychotopographical Landscape (Cage)" 1991/ GBennett 18-3-'91 100 x 100cm PROVENANCE: Department of Aboriginal & Islander Affairs, Brisbane The Collection of Peter Bellas, Brisbane EXHIBITIONS: Gordon Bennett, Bellas Gallery, Brisbane, 7 - 25 May 1991 LITERATURE: Compassion Calms the Rage, Courier Mail, 14 May, 1991 Southern Crossings: Empty Land in the Australian Image, Camerawork, London, 1992 OTHER NOTES: "Gordon Bennett's bold and humane art challenged racial stereotypes and provoked critical reflection on Australia's official history and national identity. Bennett was one of Australia's most significant and critically engaged contemporary artists, addressing issues relating to the role of language and systems of thought in forging identity. He rejected racial stereotypes and freed himself from being categorised as an Indigenous artist by creating an ongoing pop art inspired alter ego, John Citizen, who he considered to be 'an abstraction of the Australian Mr Average, the Australian Everyman'."
