Call of the Highly Improbable, 2009, oil on canvas, 150 x 100cms |
||||||
|
Kate has won the 2010 Albany Art Prize with her painting
Call of the Highly Improbable. The prize is
one of the richest visual arts awards in WA. Kate will receive
$25,000 plus four weeks in a self-contained studio cottage in Albany
and $2500 in expenses. The judges were Art Gallery of WA director Stefano Carboni, Perth International Arts Festival visual arts program manager Margaret Moore and Jason Smith, director of the Heide Museum of Modern Art in Victoria. "We consider Call of the Highly Improbable a commanding work that combines superb painting technique and pictorial composition with a conceptual rigour informed by Australian art and literary histories," the judges said. The exhibition of finalists is to be held at the Vancouver Arts Centre in WA and will run from March 27 to April 18, 2010 Kate's accompanying statement... The Ern Malley literary hoax that produced sustaining images such as the “Black Swan of Trespass” has always had particular appeal and hearing the Black Swan referred to in connection to the Global Financial Crisis made the concept topical again. The title of this painting comes from Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s book The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. I imagine that James McAuley and Harold Stewart and perhaps even Max Harris, would have appreciated Taleb’s ideas on learning to expect the unexpected. |

The Silver Fox has arrived! I'm eternally grateful to the wonderful Darrel Kienberger of Kiel, Wisconsin whose taxidermy skills are extraordinary. This is a silver fox whose silver highlights have been bred out to make him more black. I'm looking forward to getting started on some paintings of him... kate bergin kate bergin kate bergin kate bergin kate bergin kate bergin kate bergin kate bergin |
