Prints in Archibald and Wynne Prizes
Just back from Sydney and the Archibald, Yayoi Kusama and Simryn Gill exhibitions. I was amazed to see that a screen print made it through as a finalist in the Archibald Prize.

Chavez’s image, Portrait of a muthf***a (pictured), is a screen print using a halftone screen and acrylic paint so all you sreen printers should perhaps set your sights a little bit higher when making submissions!
Also of interest was a piece in the Wynne Prize by Pei Pei He titled City Life which is designated as “emulsion paint and ink on canvas”. To this viewer it appears as though the artist has painted the canvas and overprinted it with an inkjet printer.
