Jaq Grantford has just won the 2022 Darling Portrait Prize, a $75,000 prize that rethinks portraiture in our times.
It is the third richest portrait prize in Australia, behind the $150,000 Doug Moran National Portrait Prize and the $100,000 Archibald Prize, and is presented by the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.
The Darling Portrait Prize was announced this past week, as ‘portrait season’ takes hold over the country. We counted close to a dozen major portrait exhibitions currently showing across Australia.
