Painter, draughtsman, printmaker, film maker, performance artist, George Gittoes was one of the artists involved in Sydney's Yellow House before creating a creative hub at Bundeena, south of Sydney. More than any other artist he has created a visual response to the early 21st century's War on Terror and its human and spiritual consequence.
