Ben Quilty and the Maggots (Artscape Series) (Digital)
Ben Quilty's rise as one of Australia's leading young contemporary artists, is nothing short of phenomenal.
Today, at only 36, he has a retrospective survey of his work touring. His signature is paintings so thickly laden with luscious applications of paint that they literally ooze. His abstract interpretations of the booze-fuelled world of Australia's suburban bloke's culture have won him many fans.
Despite his success, it seems Quilty has never quite exorcised the hoon in him.
