Adam Cullen: Art is Pain Relief

Adam Cullen: Art is Pain Relief is a retrospective exhibition of over seventy rarely seen paintings, works on paper, bronzes, ceramics, films, and artist books from the late Australian artist (1965–2012).

The artist’s unique visual language encapsulates insightful yet confronting views of Australian contemporary society. The works revolve around issues of national and gendered identity, addressing racial intolerance, bigotry, sexism, and political and social hypocrisies.

With works drawn from private collections and rarely seen for over a decade, this is an opportunity to reflect upon Cullen’s extraordinary body of work and on his enduring legacy. Curated by Max Germanos from 3:33 Art Projects and developed with the support of the Adam Cullen Estate and Manly Art Gallery & Museum.
