  • Summary

  • “ I like to make paintings to give people pleasure.”

    Just as the late Bill Granger exported Australian food culture to the world, Ken Done’s bold and colourful brush strokes spread the essence of Australia and Australians; creative, optimistic and bold.

    There’s a bit of Ken Done iconography in every Australian home, if not our psyche.

    In this episode of Three Food Memories, Savva sits with Ken at his gallery in The Rocks, at a paint-spattered and well-worn wooden table, Ken’s hands reflecting the same aesthetic.

    Lobster, treacle sandwiches, and a surprisingly chewy green jelly are on the menu - as are his reflections on childhood by the Clarence River and six-year-old hysterics at a floating latrine during a flood.

    UNICEF is Ken’s social cause. He spent over 35 years as the Australian National Ambassador, campaigning for the rights of children around the world.

    This in-person episode of Three Food Memories with     Ken Done is with great thanks to the team at the Ken Done Gallery.
