Congratulations to Summer Aldis, winner of the $35,000 Art Prize, for her work Companion II.
Guest Judge Lauretta Morton OAM had the challenging task of selecting from the 61 high-quality entries. She said that it was an honour to be the invited judge for the Manning Regional Art Gallery $35,000 Naked & Nude Art Prize 2023. She noted that after having spent time with all the entries in the flesh, she found herself continually lured back to the large scale drawing Companion II by Summer Aldis . Depicting a softly rendered body lying perfectly still, suspended, and draped in a wave of deftly rendered fabric, this rich and aesthetically alluring work of art while quiet, is extremely powerful.
The Naked & Nude theme allows artists to explore what has been the most predominant theme in art throughout the ages.
The Art Prize is a partnership between the Friends of the Manning Regional Art Gallery and the Manning Regional Art Gallery. We are supported by Gallery volunteers, the Gallery Director and her staff, Midcoast Council, the supporters who fund the Art Prize, and most importantly, the artists who enter the Art Prize.
