Each year I visit the Archibald Prize exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. This year I was particularly impressed by the following works.
This portrait by Anh Oh of an aboriginal man with incredibly capturing eyes.
This almost three-dimensional portrait by Ashley Frost of Janet Dawson.
The deserved winner, Mitch Cairns’ beautifully composed portrait of his partner Agatha Gothe-Snape.
Almost sculptural is this painting by Noel Thurgate of Peter Powditch:
This vibrant painting by Wawiriya Burton depicting her father’s homeland.
And the painting I spent the most time with, this amazing large scale landscape work by Nicholas Harding.
