Hadyn Wilson's diverse art practice covers painting, public sculpture, low-relief paper sculpture and
experimenting with different mediums. Exploring the relationship between past and present, the real and the
imaginary, history and myth, his work observes how we connect with our environment.
A graduate of Sydney's Julian Ashton Art School (1975), Hadyn completed a Graduate Diploma of Art at the Australian
National University in Canberra (1992), a Masters of Fine Arts (Class I Honours) at COFA - University of NSW (1995), and
a PhD at the University of Newcastle NSW (2010). Hadyn was the 2019 NSW State Library Artist in Residence.
Hadyn has had countless solo and group exhibitions throughout Australia and overseas and two major survey
exhibitions in Australian regional galleries. He has won a number of prizes including the Gallipoli Art Prize (2011) and the
Mosman Art Prize (1988) and has been a finalist in the Archibald Prize (1990, 1983), Sulman Prize (1999, 1988, 1987), and Wynne
Prize (2016, 1996).
His artworks are included in the collections of the Australian National University, Manly Art Gallery and Museum,
Manning River Regional Gallery, Mosman Art Gallery, University of New South Wales, and University of Technology Sydney.
Hadyn spends his time between his home and studio in the Hunter Valley, and his Sydney studio at Coburn Fine Art in Mosman.
