We are incredibly proud and excited for our three well deserved John Leslie Art Prize Finalists. To familiarise you with their works in the lead up to the prize, we have asked each artist to write a small piece about their practice, and their piece that has been selected.

"The sky is a metaphor for human emotion and mood. And the landscape’s
language of expression, via the representation of clouds and subtle shifts in light, conveys a deeply personal and intimate response to my existence."
This work – ‘Orderly Chaos’ was exhibited most recently in Bang’s recent and successful ‘Chaotic Order’ solo exhibition at Manyung Gallery Malvern in November of 2019.
