"Gordon Syron and the Art of Invasion" focuses on the major Indigenous Australian painter.

A piece of Professor Jason Rudy's Gordon Syron biography, titled "Gordon Syron and the Art of Invasion", was featured in Public Books. The article was taken from Rudy's book-in-progress, an authorized biography of the Indigenous Australian painter Gordon Syron.

The article explores ways art resists a colonial state and the idea of using contemporary art as proof of land rights.
