Davila's art sets to counter indifference in the community and spark intellectual discourse on many issues in the international cultural and political landscape. His work has critiqued directly the Australian political system, the greed of late capitalism, the oppression exerted by Western art history, the representation of sexuality, and the treatment of marginalised peoples, including Indigenous people in Australia and Chile and refugees.
This book features a powerful selection of paintings, installations and works on paper from the early 1970s to the present, as well as a selection of the artist's incisive essays and written commentary on key works.
With Guy Brett and Roger Benjamin, and writings by Juan Davila
