Adam Cullen
Early in his career, Adam Cullen became renowned as an enfant terrible in the Australian art world. He has never been afraid to skirt around danger in his aesthetics and his practice. He gained early fame in his art school days by dragging a rotting pig's head around chained to his ankle. He raised eyebrows by collaborating with the infamous Mark 'Chopper' Read for their children's book, Hooky the Cripple. He was well established as a Sydney 'grunge' artist when he won the prestigious Archibald Prize for his portrait of actor David Wenham in 2000, raising hackles amongst the more conservative members of the Australian art world.
But regardless of the bad boy posturings, there is also an extraordinary sense of both humour and pathos about Cullen's work.
