This year’s Archibald Prize spotlighted bold, boundary-pushing portraits — with Michael Zavros’ “Alex with his tefillin in the sea” winning the People’s Choice Award, blending Jewish tradition with the ocean in a stunning visual statement. Zavros joined a fierce field of 59 finalists, including portraits of the Governor-General and ABC legend Virginia Trioli, showcasing the prize’s ever-expanding scope. The main Archibald went to Richard Lewer for his portrait of elder Iluwanti Ken, while Sean Layh’s Hamlet-inspired take on Jacob Collins claimed the Packing Room Prize. With past winners ranging from finger-painted musicians to academics and actors, the People’s Choice continues to reflect public taste. The full exhibition — including Wynne and Sulman Prizes — runs at the Art Gallery of New South Wales until August 16 — don’t miss it.
