ARCHIBALD PRIZE FINALIST 2024
GPCC Alumni, Tim Owers - Archibald Prize Finalist 2024
国产视频合集 would like to congratulate Alumni, Tim Owers on the prestigious honour of being a finalist in the 2024 Archibald Prize.
Past student, Tim Owers says "I am thrilled to announce that my portrait of Cortnee Vine has been selected as a finalist in the 2024 Arthcibald Prize!
The painting, titled 'On the bench and on the cusp (portrait of Cortnee Vine)', depicts the CommBank Matildas and Sydney FC star on the garden bench at my studio. The work seeks to explore the life-changing moment during the Aus v. Fra World Cup quarterfinal when Cortnee was called onto the field, after 104 minutes on the bench, and went on to score "the pen" that will be forever etched into our minds!
Cortnee is a humble, generous, curious and creative person whom I admire greatly. She has arguably become the face of Australian football this year - and rightfully so. She works so hard to further women's football and gives so much of herself to support her teammates. As a sitter, she has been enthusiastic, transparent, flexible, and just plain fun to be around. Thanks for entrusting me to capture you, Cortnee.
The Archibald Prize will be on display from the 8th June until 8th September at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. A huge congratulations to the other finalists, and I'm looking forward to celebrating with you all soon!"
