PORTRAITURE PRIZE WINNERS - 2011

Lester Group Prize | Prize: $35,000 | |
| Artist: Kristone Capistrano Subject: Jaimie Jones Title: Homeless Man (Outside David Jones) Judges Comment: This winning work is confronting, and with the exception of the artist no-one has ever met the subject, and yet we all have unknowingly encountered his like. The portrait is powerful, making excellent use of material and method welded together perfectly to convey the original concept. The structure freezes the violence and tragedy, but it is the eyes that rivet attention because they know more than the written account can tell. The way the work is displayed is an effective aspect of the expression. The work is a strong indictment of our society today.. Carl Altmann, Stefano Carboni, Ben Joel | |
