This exhibition will highlight the distinguished career of the late Ron Hurley as one of the early leaders of the urban political movement in Aboriginal art.
Ron Hurley was born in 1946 into the Goreng Goreng and Mununjali peoples of south-east Queensland. He began using his formal Western art education to create art works that highlighted a contemporary Aboriginal existence and politics, and led the development of the urban Indigenous art movement with contemporaries such as Trevor Nickolls and Lin Onus.
