"Howard Arkley and Nick Cave moved in overlapping circles in Melbourne in the late 1970s. One of the first two works commissioned by the Portrait Gallery, Arkley's painting of Cave was one of the last the artist completed before his death at the peak of his career. The portrait captures the punk mentality and attitude of both artist and sitter in Arkley's immaculately-finished, psychedelic and incandescent airbrush style."
(National Portrait Gallery, Canberra)
