Billy Bain This artwork was acquired for the Western Sydney University Art Collection during the 2024 Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. We have loaned the artwork for the Wynne Prize regional tour that travels to Western Plains Cultural Centre, Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre, Bathurst Regional Art Gallery, and the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre. The annual Wynne Prize was first awarded in 1897 in honour of the official opening of the Art Gallery of New South Wales at its present site. Judged by the trustees of the Art Gallery, the prize is awarded to the best landscape painting of Australian scenery or for the best example of figure sculpture by an Australian artist. The Wynne Prize reflects the diversity of figurative sculptural practice, while the paintings are a dynamic reflection of Australian artists’ response to the land, reflecting contemporary aesthetics, environmental and stewardship concerns, and conceptions of Country. |
