Queer Australian Art and KINK acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners and custodians of the lands and waters of this continent. KINK conducts its work on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation in Naarm Melbourne, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples in Meanjin Brisbane and the Gadigal lands of the Eora Nation, Sydney. We pay respect to elders past, present, and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.

Neil Emmerson

He/Him
Born in Naarm (Melbourne), Victoria, Australia.

Bio

Neil Emmerson (b. 1956) is an Australian artist and printmaker whose work often features homoerotic elements. His practice addresses personal identity, as well as the experiences and politics of being a gay man, both in Western culture, as well as in China and East Asia. He studied painting at the Victorian College of the Arts from 1978 to 1980, and later completed a Masters of Fine Arts at Deakin University, Melbourne.

Emmerson's work is collected in the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Auckland Art Gallery Toi O Tamaki, and he is featured in the 2012 book, 101 Contemporary Australian Artists. Until 2021, Emmerson was a senior lecturer, and head of Dunedin School of Art's print studio. In 2006 he won the Fremantle Print Award.
