| | Ken Done - The Cabin |
 | | Ken Done has always drawn inspiration from music in his painting, and feels a particular affinity with Jazz, especially in the music of his trumpeter friend James Morrison, and the lyrical tones of Ray Charles. |
 | | Ken Done reveals a boyish adulation for his heroes, mentors, and muses, alive or dead, so that Ray Charles, Matisse, Nolan, Lloyd Rees, Turner, Bonnard, as well as his parents, wife and children, inhabit the studio in various forms. |
 | | Ken Done uses the wooden trellis on the cabin verandah to frame images of boats on intensely coloured seas and with passionately depicted skies to establish metaphors for human struggle towards the ultimate triumph of harmony and peace. |
