“Whether drawing is central to or just one aspect of these artists’ practice, many in the exhibition share similar affiliations with drawing, describing the process as meditative, a way to reflect on personal experience and social discourse, a method for dedicated observation, or an attempt to harness the atmosphere of a moment,” curator Lucy Latella tells me about the Dobell Drawing Prize exhibition.
Celebrating its twenty-fourth edition, the biennial exhibition showcases the work of fifty-six finalists selected from 965 nationwide entries. With a focus on technique, innovation and expanded approaches, the exhibition is presented at the National Art School Gallery in partnership with the Sir William Dobell Art Foundation.
