Painting Works (Semester One)

Contained in this post are a compilation of painting works throughout Semester One. Works include class work and various assessment task works.

Assessment One - Inspired by the works of Gregor Cullen:

Gregor Cullen is a painter, sketch artist, illustrator and screen print artist from Australia whose works typically depict a social or political message through the use of subject matter, bold colors, black lines and wording within the works. Works including Reject the system depict Cullen’s personal political beliefs. Cullen’s art influences include Pop Art, shown in his use of cartooning and colors. Whilst working as an artist, Cullen also teaches graphic and visual design at the University of Wollongong.

Official Gregor Cullen biography provided by UOW:
Gregor Cullen was appointed to the position of lecturer of Graphic Design in 1992 . He is currently the subject co-ordinator for first year graphic design and visual investigations subjects.

As co-founder of Redback Graphics in the early ‘80’s, ingaurgal Creative Director for the Casula Powerhouse Design Studio in the early 90’s, Chair of the Destination Port Kembla project ‘91-2 and the co-founder of the Creative Art & Design Consultancy group ‘98, Gregor has established a reputation and design practice which is committed to community development and innovation.

His posters and graphics are represented in international, national and regional Art & Museum collections.

The poster designs by Gregor Cullen during the 80’s and 90’s celebrate the vibrancy, the politics and the cultural diversity of the City of Wollongong. More recently the Public Art commissions undertaken for the Roads and Traffic Authority and Wollongong City Council express the significance of graphic design solutions for urban design projects.

Community, Creative Industries, Public Art & Design are key practice and research priorities. International study and exchange with Dundee University, Scotland “Duncan of Jordanstone School of Art & Design” and the Scottish Creative Industries program 2002.
