Selected from almost 400 entries, this year’s 47 finalists will compete for a total prize pool of $30,000 in acquisitions and have the opportunity to exhibit at the Gold Coast City Gallery from 5 December, 2015. Their works represent many of the key trends in contemporary art such as urban life, landscape and environment, digital technologies and globalism.
As in previous years the finalists come from an incredibly diverse field, with known and unfamiliar, established and emerging, traditional and experimental artists represented.
“This year we will see established artists Tony Albert, Alan Jones, Wendy Sharpe and Suzanne Archer exhibiting alongside local artists Abbey McCulloch and Seabastian Toast”, says Gallery Manager John Walsh. There are a number of acclaimed Indigenous artists represented also, including Michael Nelson-Jagamara, Brownwyn Bancroft, Emily Ngarnal-Evans and others. With such a diverse group of artists, the 2015 Gold Coast Art Prize will, according to Walsh, make for a ‘fantastic’ exhibition.
Additional artists include: Matthew Allen, Leonie Andrews, Lincoln Austin, Min-Woo Bang, Yannick Blattner, Serena Bonson, Mostyn Bramley-Moore, Leonard Brown, Angela Cavalieri, Will Coles, Carley Cornelissen, Laurindo de Abreu Soto, Julia deVille, J Valenzuela Didi, James Dodd, Michael Eather, Christian Flynn, Jennifer Goodman, James Guppy, Craig Handley, Rew Hanks, Camille Hannah, Susan Hawkins, Pat Hoffie, Madeleine Kelly, Christian Lock, Monde Monde, Britt Salt, Paul Sloan, Alick Sweet, Hiromi Tango, Daniel Templeman, Kristin Tennyson, Lezlie Tilley, Deborah Walker, Amy Joy Watson, Fiona White and Deborah Williams
An overall winner will be announced at the exhibition opening event on 5 December by Guest Judge Nick Mitzevich, Director of the Art Gallery of South Australia.
