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.
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.
Buoyed by the power of love and the spirit of artistic invention, Mostafa Azimitabar’s new solo exhibition at Maitland Regional Gallery turns dehumanising narratives on their head.
Amanda Bell’s poignant new commission for the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts transforms the heaviness of history and unsettles hierarchies of place.
