Interpretive text
Jonathan McBurnie is an artist, writer and cartoonist based in Rockhampton, Australia. Born in 1983, McBurnie began self-publishing comic books at the age ten. He has a PhD from Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney (2015) and is the current Director of Rockhampton Museum of Art. McBurnie is a published writer for publications including Eyeline, Catalogue, The Lifted Brow, Huxley, Penthouse Australia, the Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture, and Sneaky, where he was the Visual Arts Editor.
This work was created as part of McBurnie's ongoing interest in the performative aspects of wrestling and 70s-90s pop culture. His artmaking practice draws upon vintage pop culture imagery, which McBurnie uses to create surreal collage compilations. These collages are then inked in pen and watercolour.
