Rodney FORBES (1951- )
Born Melbourne

Rodney Forbes' work is figurative narrative painting and uses autobiographical and incident-as-metaphor methods to explore wider issues of knowing and belonging in oral traditions such as working class, children’s and artisan subcultures. His practice draws on pop, cartooning and joke narrative structures within contemporary culture. (http://www.australiangalleries.com.au/artists/rodney-forbes/, accessed 07 April 2017)
