Adam Cullen 'Fatal Friendship' floraAdam Cullen merges social satire with technicolour excess. An enfant terrible of the art world, he launched onto the Australian art scene by chaining a pigs head to his ankle for two weeks. This punk stunt was followed by a career spent painting tough, uncompromising and challenging subjects, captured with a pop art twist. In the evocatively titled Fatal Friendship, Cullen depicts two outlaws of Australian history, members of the infamous Kelly gang.
