CJ Hendry and Ricky Swallow: two of Australia's biggest arts exports on ambition and success, plus Latai Taumoepeau's live art as protest
Three artists in their prime talk to The Art Show... CJ Hendry specialises in hyper-real paintings, but she’s just as comfortable with the art of the spectacle as she is creating the art itself - her recent showcase exhibition in NY got shut down because it drew too many people. Fellow expat Ricky Swallow has been taking LA by storm with his striking bronze sculptures, but is returning home for his first foray into public art. And Sydney-based Pasifika artist Latai Taumoepeau's monumental work is a vital call to action on climate change.
