Natasha Walsh selected as finalist in Mosman Art Prize

September 21, 2018

Natasha Walsh’s captivating self-portrait on copper ‘The cicada’ has been selected as a finalist for the Mosman Art Prize 2018. Established in 1947, the Mosman Art Prize is Australia’s oldest and most prestigious local government art award. Recently awarded the Kilgour Prize and the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship, Walsh’s alchemical self-portraits are the product of a combination of intense self-reflection and the unpredictability of the copper surface. Judged by Cressida Campbell, the announcement of this year’s winning painting will take place on Tuesday 25 September and the exhibition itself will continue until Sunday 18 November.
