| Summary |
Adam Cullen emerged in the 1990s as the 'enfant terrible' of the Sydney art scene and a foremost exponent of 'grunge'. Despite descriptions of his work as crude, distasteful and grotesque, and his predilection for 'low-life' subject matter, his paintings have been selected for many public collections and in 2000 he won the coveted Archibald Prize with his portrait of actor David Wenham |
