We were all thrilled that Ken was selected this year as a finalist in both the Wynne and Sulman Prizes at the Art Gallery of NSW. The Wynne is awarded to the best landscape painting of Australian scenery, while the Sulman is given to the best subject painting. These three iconic exhibitions are the most famous (and often the most controversial!) in Australia, and our congratulations go to this year’s winners Tony Costa (Archibald), Sylvia Ken (Wynne) and McLean Edwards (Sulman). The finalist exhibitions are on show at the Art Gallery of NSW until September 8th.
