Congratulations to Mirra Whale who is the winner of the 2024 Redland Art Prize in QLD.
Mirra Whale is a Sydney based artist whose artworks explore the formal and conceptual limits of the genre of still life.
Within her practice Mirra utlises everyday household objects and presents them from another angle.
The 2024 Redland Art Prize received more than 400 entries this year from across Australia, from which 55 finalists were selected.
The biennial awards are a unique platform that celebrate the diversity and depth of contemporary painting in Australia.
Mirra's painting 'Seafood Still Life for Margaret' now sits proudly in the Redland Art Gallery collection.
'Seafood Still Life for Margaret' was part of a body of work inspired and created during an artist’s residency in 2023 at the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre where Mirra was surrounded by Margaret Olley’s loved, prized, everyday possessions.
We also congratulate Ann Thomson who received a Highly Commended mention, all other prize winners as well as all award finalists.
The award exhibition is showing until 28th January 2025.
