Four self-portraits, three sisters, eight grandparents, nine brothers, five dads, six friends, four mothers, and one golf coach were among the subjects painted by the finalists in this year’s Young Archie portrait competition.Winners of the Young Archie competition: Aysha Huq, 16; Matthew Chen, 8; Celeste Hang, 15; and Callum MacGown, 11, in front of their winning portraits at the Art Gallery of NSW.
"She is really interested in painting. She used to be a fashion designer," Celeste said. "She was sort of my guardian for most of my childhood. There are a lot of memories of her. I was trying to capture her personality: wise, stubborn, but nice in a way.""He's a very interesting person," Callum said. "He's got lots of different parts to him.
Marikit Santiago, an artist with a work in the Sulman Prize, judged the prize and said she could understand why so many children had painted their grandparents. "If I'm looking for portraits with stories, grandparents have the most stories don't they because they have the most experience on the Earth in our families," Santiago says. "There's that cross-generational exchange between grandchild and grandparent and all that history between them."
"Especially that winner, Callum's portrait, really captured his grandfather's essence. A lot of history in his face."
Far more entertaining than the adults, and they've clearly picked up some colour technique from video games (an hour with me in the Grand Courts and they'd be experts).
