Description

As one of Australia's most well-known artists, Ken Done has built an empire based on his artwork and design. His paintings are characterized by bright, bold, and simplistic designs featuring everything from Australia's landmarks to floral patterns and more. The Ken Done Gallery calls the bustling "The Rocks" neighborhood home. The permanent collection showcases some of Done's most recognized paintings, while the current exhibition features a selection of art that is available for sale. Done is an example of an artist who has commercialized his art, making a brand from his work and name. Aside from his popular paintings and commercial products, Done has participated in a number of interesting projects including a ten year stint designing the cover art for the weekly Japanese fashion magazine, Hanako, and creating art for the 2000 Sydney Olympics programs, as well as painting the interior of the Garden Restaurant at the Powerhouse Museum.
