Dowatfeelsgood aka Jack Hodges is a multi-media artist based in Nambucca Heads, NSW. He makes paintings, interactive art activities, sculptures, zines and videos. He is interested in fundamental questions relating to all humans concerning coercion, convention and status, and how this relates to decisions making processes. Jack’s art is informed by everyday surrounding and used as a tool to introduce people, start conversations and collect information. Jack’s art is bold, loose and random, and at the same time precise and thoughtful, keeping in sync with the local context and current trends. 

Jack has delivered community art projects and exhibited overseas in Indonesia and Nepal, as well as domestically in the Northern Territory, South Australia and New South Wales. In 2013 he undertook a mentorship with the Mexican muralist Jesus “Dhear” Benitez in Mexico City . In 2015 he undertook a mentorship in Pittsburgh, USA with multidisciplinary artist Bill Shannon. Jack has been exhibiting his art since 2011, including his solo show’s ‘Real Life Fiction’ at Airspace Projects in Marrickville, NSW in 2024, ‘LEISURE’ at Archive Gallery in Toormina, NSW in 2023, ‘Not Sure Yet?’ at Third Eye Space in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2018 and ‘Inside Outside’ a renegade exhibition at the Adelaide Bus Station in 2017.
