"A new documentary from Larissa Behrendt, You Can Go Now, highlights the life, work and activism of Richard Bell …

"Bell is an internationally renowned artist who works across painting, installation, video and performance, describing himself as “bold, brash and brazen” in his approach to dealing with the art industry in Australia …

"Gary Foley speaks of Bell’s work as “beautifully subversive” and “satirical”. He smirks as he thinks about how Bell’s work shocks the straight-laced people in the Australian art scene.

"Chelsea Watego describes Bell as someone who “knows no boundaries” and “is unashamedly and unapologetically Blak”."
