Announcing the winner of the 2010 Alice Prize
Alison Alder
‘Carcass’ (triptych) 2009
Screen printed gouache on paper
120 x 252cm
“The artist cleverly diagrams Sir Sidney Nolan’s powerful ‘carcass’ paintings providing a strong and simple distillation of form, making each carcass read almost like a ideogram. The decision to make a triptych, the scale and medium all work in favour of a powerful result.” Alan Dodge
, Judge
Honourable Mention
Yinarupa Nangala
Untitled, 2009
acrylic on linen
“A beautiful accomplished work of high sophistication. Assured touch in paint application and compositional rigour make this a fine work indeed.” Alan Dodge
Tobias Richardson
Demountable Churches, 2008
acrylic, enamel and collage on board
“Smart use of colour and textured surface of the back of masonite was the first right decision. The repetition with variations of the same basic form was the second good decision. The alternation of thin, thick and dripped paint provides an interesting visual variation for what becomes a series of symbols.” Alan Dodge
Mary Ross
Camus and Adam – The Mutikur Project, 2009
Photograph
“This photograph hits the mark. The use of light, whether by design or chance is cinematically perfect. The contrast in psychological states between the driver and child is poignant and a wonderful tension exists between the drivers concentration and the child’s dreamy look.” Alan Dodge
