Gallery 1 December 4, 2010 - February 6, 2011
 
 
This year’s judge, Geoffrey Cassidy, Director of Artbank, has selected 63 finalists for exhibition in the Stan and Maureen Duke Gold Coast Art Prize. From a field of almost 300 entries, the selected exhibition promises to offer an interesting and diverse group sampling the varied aspects of contemporary Australian art practice. 
 
From the subtle manipulation of realism in Claudia Damichi’s stylised interior 'psychological landscapes' to Mostyn Bramley-Moore’s gestural abstractions, the fine art of painting has never been stronger. Other renowned painters in the exhibition include Kate Briscoe, Jun Chen, Joe Furlonger, Marie Hagerty and Victoria Reichelt, each with a particularly independent approach to the medium.
 
The diversity of approaches to media is one of the most engaging aspects of the exhibition. Sculptural works feature quite strongly such as the smartly presented abstract forms of Laurino De Abrue Soto or the altogether unnervingly dynamic kinetic offering from emerging artist Michael Candy. 
 
Geoffrey Cassidy, Director of Artbank, visited the Gold Coast last week and made his selection of works for the 2010/11 exhibition. From a strong group of over 250 entries, the following works were chosen and including works by Joe Furlonger and past winner Marie Hagerty.

Ceramic works by Rod Butler, Steve Davies and Ken Yonetani also demonstrate the diversity of an age-old medium.  New and possibly untried media are also included such as Shaun Weston’s Goonbox painted with red wine on paper or the found plastic objects skilfully employed by Ian Munday and Andrew Blackwell.
 
The Gold Coast Art Prize was established in 1968, making it one of the longest running acquisition art prizes in Australia. Dr Stan Duke’s Foundation became sponsor of the award in 2007, and this support has enabled an outright prize to be awarded with additional funds available for acquisitions.
