Check ‘em out at the Art Gallery of NSW website:
My favourites are:
Del Kathryn Barton, Vasili Kaliman and contained familiar together within the Dreaming
John Beard Janet Laurence
Peteris Ciemitis Making sense of place #4
Esther Erlich Tim (really, you’d have to stuff up bad to make me dislike a painting of Tim Rogers, but thankfully this artist did a stellar job anyway.)
Cherry Hood Ben Quilty
Jasper Knight The Honourable Bob Carr
Abbey McCulloch Toni Collette (obviously not a realistic painting, but amazingly beautiful nonetheless)
I really must get around to entering this sometime… nothing to lose and $35,000 to gain…
