Examining where Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal art converge is at the root of Gordon's practice, which manifests as bold, graphic presentations that demand attention. His work is known for its biting satire of Australian culture and politics, witty critique of racism, and exploration of oral and visual history-making traditions, combining figurative characters, iconic symbols, bold comic-style text and vibrant colours. Through this idiosyncratic language, Gordon has developed an immediately recognisable style that has seen his work displayed in major Australian collections, including Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, UQ Art Museum, Art Gallery of Western Australia, National Gallery of Australia, Australian National University, National Gallery of Victoria, and the University of Technology Sydney, as well as significant private collections.
