It’s always inspiring to see such absolute beauty and energy yielded with a brush. Australia must have something cookin’- is it in their air, water or food? Pass the dish- please! Good to see such breadth of work and that credit (hey, the $100,000 can’t be too bad either!) is getting it’s due.
The annual Doug Moran Prize Portrait Prize finalists each carry their own distinct quality and integrity; I’ve chosen a couple that really beckoned something deeper within for me. Claire Busuttil-Bridge’s Vashti is just impeccable and really gives another dimension towards contemporary portraiture- it’s stunningly evoking.
