Sulman Prize Finalist

Last week we heard the good news about Young Archie Honourable Mentions, Finn McLean and Fergus Fung. We have also received great news about one of our recent old boys.

 

Brodie Cullen, Class of 2018, has been nominated as a finalist in the prestigious Sulman Prize. The Sulman Prize, exhibited with the Wynne and Archibald Prizes, is given to the best subject painting, genre painting or mural project in oil, acrylic, watercolour or mixed media. This is the second year that Brodie has been a finalist (also 2022). Brodie follows in the footsteps of old boy, Craig Ruddy, who was awarded the Archibald Prize in 2004. We are watching Brodie’s career with great interest. 

See the link below to view Brodie’s work and read his artist’s statement.
