Winners announced for the Perth Royal Art Prize for Landscape
A field of 61 of Western Australia’s finest artists competed for the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia’s (RASWA) Perth Royal Art Prize for Landscape. Last night, the first prize of $20,000 was awarded to André Lipscombe for his work, Crustose painting.
The judging panel, Hiroshi Kobayashi, 2024 First Prize winner; Lia McKnight, Curator, John Curtin Gallery, Curtin University; and Sandra Murray, Perth Royal Art Prize Curator, noted the diversity and expertise of interpretations of the term ‘landscape’ and commended all the finalists.
The Prize, committed solely to landscape, was joined by the Emerging Artist Award, presented to Breanna Vos for Archived, 2025, and two Highly Commended Awards, given to Troy Drill for his work Kangaroo fat dreaming, and Nicole Slatter for Remnant, with both works depicting landscapes from intriguing perspectives.
The Prize is being shown at the Wilkinson Gallery, Claremont Showground, offering free access to an exhibition of the art for artists, art lovers and the general public from Sunday, 31 August to Sunday, 7 September.
“This is a celebration of our artists, our shared environment, and the many ways in which landscape inspires, provokes, and motivates,” said Murray. “The innovative finalists’ works reflect landscapes that are geographic, political, ecological, abstract and imagined, all unified by a dedication to the genre and to artmaking itself.”
