If you think of classic “hottie-boy” cars, skulls and a version of the Rorschach blot, then there is only one artist who comes to mind – Archibald winning artist Ben Quilty.
Quilty wears his past as a reckless teenager as a badge, his paintings often delving into the psyche of Australian testosterone-charged young males.
