Description

Juan Davila is an artist who believes in the possibility of effecting social change through art. Born in Chile, he moved to Australia in 1974. His art sets to counter indifference in the community and spark discourse on many issues in the international cultural and political landscape. His work has commented on the Australian political system, greed, capitalism, the oppression exerted by Western art history, the representation of sexuality and the treatment of marginalised people. This book features a selection of paintings, installations and works from the early 1970's to the early 2000's and includes essays and written commentary on key works.
