Powerful portrait wins top prize at Gosnells Art Awards
Ariel Katzir's mixed-media portrait 'I do see you' won the Overall Acquisitive Award at the City of Gosnells Community Art Exhibition and Awards, earning $5,000 and a place in the city's art collection. The painting depicts local non-verbal First Nations artist Darryl Dempster, who communicates through his art. Other category winners received $500 across media including oil, acrylic, watercolour, digital, mixed media, youth, and Aboriginal artist categories. The exhibition runs until May 25, with a People's Choice Award sponsored by Maddington Central.
