LES FINNIS - ARCHITECT AND ICE BERGER

​Artist’s Statement

I painted prominent Melbourne architect Les Finnis, who is also an Ice Berger, who swims in the cold water of Port Phillip Bay every morning.  I decided to paint him in my usual style, with the stylised skyline of Melbourne in the background to emphasise his role as an architect.
 
This year, I was particularly happy to be entering the Archibald Prize because my daughter, Laurent Ferrier was also entering, painting Ryan Shelton.
