Couldn’t be more thrilled to be one of 42 selected finalists from a record response to the call for entries from across Australia in the 2024 Paddington Art Prize with my work ‘Alienated Tarago Landscape’.
The Paddington Art Prize principally sponsored by Chris Antico, Founded and Co-Sponsored by Marlene Antico AOM now in its 21st year, has become Australia’s preeminent landscape prize of unmatched calibre. This is largely due to Marlene's deliberate selection of independent judges, each with decades of experience and a significant contribution to the Australian arts.
Each year the prize aims to discover new talents and invigorate the art market with iconic styles that reflect Australia’s topography and “cultural ethos.” A family-run initiative, the connectedness extends to finalists and winners who become life-long members with subsequent career highlights celebrated and shared online.
The $30,000 Paddington Art Prize Exhibition of National Finalists for a painting inspired by the Australian Landscape will officially be opened on Thursday October 10th at 6-8pm, Art Leven Gallery, 17 Thurlow St, Redfern NSW at 6-8pm. With exhibition continuing until the October 20th 2024 11am-5pm with all works for sale both online and at the exhibition.
I would like to thank the very esteemed judging panel Jackie Dunn Senior Curator of Exhibitions at AGNSW, Australian art historian, art critic and curator Emeritus Professor ANU Sasha Grishin AM, FAHA and prominent Australian artist Ian Grant for selecting my work amidst this very fine list of National Finalists.
The Online Exhibition of National Finalists is currently viewable on our website
