#Ken Done
Born in Sydney in 1940, Ken Done has always considered himself first and foremost a painter. Studies as a teenager at Sydney’s National Art School in the 1950s, followed by an award-winning career in advertising in the 1960s and 70s, prepared Done for his first solo art exhibition in Sydney at the age of 40. Since 1980, Done has held more than 100 solo shows in Australia, Europe, Japan and the USA. He has been a finalist in the Archibald, Sulman, Wynne, Blake, Dobell and Mosman art prizes, and his work is held in institutional, corporate and private collections in Australia and internationally.
