Ten of the group undertook the trip to the State Library at Southbank to view the 2024 Brisbane Protrait Prize finalist gallery on Tuesday 8th October 2024.
The State Library provided a very accessible and suitably airconditioned venue for the exhibition with adjacent coffee and lunch venues.
Showcasing the best in contemporary portraiture, the 2024 prize demonstrates that portraiture still excites the most accomplished of artists.
The portraits addressed issues of identity and explored how we construct our sense of self and others.
Barry’s summary of the eyes from the portraits and his favourite works are included in a wonderful collage, The Eyes Have It, displayed below.
