John Young

John Zerunge Young AM is one of Australia’s foremost Contemporary artists. A blend of scholarly, intellectual and painterly technical rigour is core to his artistic practice.

John’s reflection of diaspora includes migratory dislocation, framed in the context of culture surrounding globalisation. This is expressed through an integration of elements of Western modernist philosophy, aesthetic theory and art history to consider the sociological impacts of technology.

He has devoted a large part of his four-decade career towards regional development in Asia and has an impressive exhibition history and record across the country and internationally.

He was also seminal in establishing in 1995 the Asian Australian Artists’ Association (Gallery 4A), now the 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art, a centre for the promotion of Asian philanthropy and the nurturing of Australasian artists and curators.

In 2020, John Young AM was made a member of the Order of Australia for significant service to the Visual Arts as a contemporary artist and painter. In 2012, he was also awarded the Australian Visual Arts Fellowship.

He is represented by Olsen Gallery in Sydney.
