LES FINNIS - ARCHITECT AND ICE BERGER Mixed Media 180 cm h x 120 cm w NFS 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. |
