If you’re feeling like a true artiste after our story yesterday about how to produce the perfect portrait, why not check out some professional efforts as the finalists for the Archibald Prize – one of Australia’s longest-running and democratic painting prizes – have been announced. There are a staggering 57 entries in the running for the $100,000 main award of the competition which is now in its 103rd year, and for the second year running, there are more female than male contenders. Some of the subjects are easier to recognise than others – we had to squint to make out Saltburn’s Jacob Elordi… But already celebrating is Melbourne street artist Matt Adnate, who won the Packing Room Prize (the gong awarded by the team that handles the portraits at the Art Gallery of NSW) for his portrait of Yolngu rapper Baker Boy yesterday. The big prizes will be announced on 7 June.
