Dobell Prize for Drawing
W Art Gallery Nowej Południowej Walii ogłoszono dzisiaj, że tegoroczną zwyciężczynią najbardziej prestiżowej nagrody artystycznej w dziedzinie rysunku – The Dobell Prize for Drawing została Pam Hallandal za pracę zatytułowaną ” Tsunami”. 80-cio letnia Pam Hallandal jest powszechnie szanowaną artystką i wieloletnim nauczycielem głównie rysunku ale również rzeźby i ceramiki w George Bell School i Prahran Senior Technical Collage w Melbourne.
W tym roku zarzad powierniczy The Sir William Dobell Art Fundation powiększył wysokośc przyznawanej już od 1993 roku nagrody do 25 000 AUD.
Na konkurs zgłoszono 649 rysunków z czego w salach galerii zaprezentowano 46 prac finalistów.
Nagrodzona dzisiaj praca to apokaliptyczna wizja artystki zaispirowana tsunami na Oceanie Indyjskim w 2004 roku. Wielki rysunek wirującego kłębowiska postaci w okregu ziemi w sposób mistrzowski pokazuje dramat ludzkich istnień podczas kataklizmu, który pochłonął wtedy setki tysięcy ofiar.

Sculpture by the Sea: Little Boy Lost
Up to half a million people are expected to walk the two kilometres of Sydney's iconic beaches Bondi and Tamarama to gawp at the open-air exhibition "Sculpture by the Sea" - Australia's largest annual outdoor public display of art.
Like any good art show, it is not without its controversy. A scultpure of a gigantic baby entitled "Little Boy Lost", by Sydeny artist Paul Trefry, was originally submitted to the festival naked. But overly-cautious Waverley Council officials put a swimming costume on the figure.
Trefry said he had felt so uncomfortable with a council ruling that his sculpture had to be clothed that he rose on Friday at 7.30am and made the short trip from his Bondi home to return the piece to its intended naked form.
Basically, I've had enough of censorship, about how the Government are basically stopping everyone from doing anything, he said.
If "Sculpture by the Sea" want me to remove it, I will. If they are going to do something so petty, I would rather not be in the exhibition.
But "Sculpture by the Sea" founder David Handley said the piece would remain.
Trefry applauded the organisers final decision. We've got a win for the art world and hopefully that's the end of it, he said.
