George Gittoes is one of the most original, prolific and powerful artists working in Australia today. As a painter, filmmaker, printmaker, photographer and performance artist, he has produced work in a wide range of styles and contexts but has always remained true to his vision. Like all artists who push hard at the boundaries, he has had mixed critical success, at times in the headlines and at others working in the background. Tough, pugnacious and idealistic, he is an articulate and enthusiastic promoter of his ideas. He has been awarded the Blake Prize for Religious Art on two occasions and has won the Art Gallery of New South Wales' prestigious Wynne Prize for landscape. In 1996, he was made a Member of the Order of Australia for his contribution to Australian art and international relations.
