Congratulations to Julie Fragar, who has won the 2025 Archibald Prize for Flagship Mother Multiverse (Justene), her portrait of fellow artist and colleague Justene Williams.
From painting rituals to an obsession with flowers, we caught up with Laura Jones to discuss her process and practice, her current solo show at Jan Murphy Gallery, and what it was like to win the Archibald Prize for her painting of Tim Winton.
Pia Murphy leans into curiosity for her latest exhibition at Nicholas Thompson Gallery. Look What I Found is “referring to that experience in childhood of discovering surprising things in nature.” It’s a methodology Murphy uses in her practice, working with the sole intention of honest discovery.
Bruce Johnson McLean, one of Australia’s leading voices on First Nations art, has been appointed the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain First Nations curatorial fellow for the next Biennale of Sydney. Steve Dow talks with Johnson McLean on his storied history, and what he hopes to achieve in the 2026 Biennale.
Cats & Dogs, now showing at the National Gallery of Victoria, explores the ways that the relationships we share with our pets are a source of strangeness and intimacy. But for Giselle Au-Nhien Nguyen, it’s also an exercise in the power of seeing and being seen.
“I see my work as a research project,” says Agneta Ekholm. “I have a desire to reach into the unknown with each new painting.” Step inside her large-scale abstract paintings at Flinders Lane Gallery.
