Congratulations to Min-Woo Bang on his selection as finalist in the 2025 Calleen Art Award at Cowra Regional Art Gallery.
Born in Seoul, Australian landscape painter Min-Woo Bang attended the South Korean National Art High School before immigrating to NSW, Australia.
Min-Woo Bang’s cloudscape paintings are both ethereal and mesmerising, exploring the intricate relationship between light, atmosphere, and time. Struck with the charm of the Australian landscape and the absolute enormity of our skies, Bang’s primary subject matter is the allure of our natural surroundings and the ephemeral beauty of our skies.
The Calleen Art Award, established in 1977, is an annual acquisitive painting prize and exhibition. It presents the best of contemporary Australian painting in any style, theme or subject. The Award was established in 1977 as an acquisitive art prize by Mrs Patricia Fagan OAM to encourage originality, creativity and excellence in the visual arts, and is made possible by the generous support of the Calleen Trust.
The winner of the Calleen Art Award 2025 will be announced at the opening night on Saturday 30 August 2025. The winning artwork will join the Calleen Collection at Cowra Regional Art Gallery.
The exhibition will be on view from 31 August - 5 October 2025.
