Winners Announced for the 11th Prospect Portrait Prize

After a wonderful opening night we are very proud to announce the winner of the 11th Prospect Portrait Prize:

Congratulations to Zoe Freney for her portrait 'Self with Beluga (after Da Vinci)'.

'Like Cecilia Galleranis' white ermine, the meaning of the beluga remains ambiguous. Is it a symbol of our fragile planet?'

Image: Zoe Freney, Self with Beluga (after Da Vinci), oil on board, 50 x 40cm.

Congratulations also to George Gillies for her portrait 'Dinner for One'. George was the winner of the Payinthi Staff Pick.

'Sitting at the edge of exhaustion, a plastic fork has never felt so heavy. All is merely an echo of its form.'
