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.
Curated by cross-disciplinary art collective KINK, the Institute of Modern Art’s You Are Here Too is an homage to–and expansion of–one of the most significant shows in the history of queer Australian art, thirty-three years on.
Traversing boundaries of the senses and of class, the work of Tina Stefanou is grounded in community. A solo exhibition at ACCA and a group exhibition at Bundanon showcase her work with unlikely collaborators.
There are many parallels between skin and painting. “Paint is a thin skin on a surface—a layer that transmits ideas into the world,” writes Jennifer Higgie in Thin Skin, the accompanying publication to a 2023 exhibition featuring paintings by thirty-six Australian and international artists.
