Tweed River Art Gallery, located in Murwillumbah, is currently hosting an exhibition of the 2011 Archibald Prize finalists.
The quality of the exhibition speaks for itself ... it's AAAA.
Of course, Brett Quilty's winning portrait of Margaret Olley is the stand out. It's fantastic. When viewed close up from a metre or so the Average Joe will says, "What's this? It's nothing."
However, when viewed from a bit of distance it's incredible. As one moves from left to right, or vice-versa, or moves back and forth from Quilty's work the piece demonstrates its many dimensions.
This bloke's no art specialist, but he knows what he likes and what he doesn't. Quilty deservedly won ... daylight came second.My other best ones include:
