Jason Wing by Commissioning Editor Matt Poll and Jason Wing
Call Number: 700.92 WIN/WIN

This title covers Jason Wing,  his artistic development, motivation and discussion of his pieces, like the book cover's picture of the piece Captain James Crook 2013. Apart from the fact Jason is an example of contemporary Australia's multicultural and generally egalitarian society and art scene as he is of Scottish, Chinese and Aboriginal background and grew up in Western Sydney, the title contains a couple of interviews about the art he produces and prizes he has won, with a critique of his practice both by a professional art critic and the general public which touch on the least pleasant elements of Australian society.
