Gary Willis, Sydney 1982. (Photo: unidentified)
Art forms of the 70s were like a bag of mixed lollies, always guaranteed to be different, in the 80s this happy variety has given way to less eclectic fashions. Painting now dominates and performance art, for example, has given way to all the pleasures and problems of easel painting. Sydney painter Gary Willis is well aware of stakes involved in these changes.
