Australian artist and documentary filmmaker, George Gittoes is an artist willing to create in the face of chaos and potential destruction. He has been travelling the world for 40 years visiting extreme situations – war zones, natural disasters and places where violence and fanaticism feature as part of everyday life. He defies categorisation, as his life defies belief; see his autobiography ‘Blood Mystic’ for corroboration. He uses painting, prints, visual diaries, field drawings, photography and filmmaking to present his work as an eyewitness account of social injustices and the difficult times in which we live.
He has been recognised for his humanitarian and peace-making efforts, awarded an Order of Australia
