Paul Hartigan attended Elam School of Fine Art 1971-73 with painting teachers Colin McCahon, Robert Ellis, Garth Tapper and sculptors Adrian Hall, Greer Twiss and Jim Allen. At a time when regionalism reigned supreme, Hartigan’s internationalist outlook saw him choosing to align himself with the forerunners of the American and British Pop movement. With an artistic career spanning four decades, Hartigan’s current work continues to push boundaries and challenge conceptions of both society and self in a visually arresting and timeless fashion.
