CONGRATULATIONS to Caroline Zilinsky - 2020 winner of Australia's most prestigious art prize for portraiture by women artists the Portia Geach Memorial Prize - for her portrait of dancer, "Anthea Pilko title Anthea May Or May Not".

A monumental abstract, painted steel sculpture composed of 52 hand-cut, long, curved strips of steel by Walcha artist James Rogers has been installed at the junction of the New England and Gwydir Highways through Glen Innes. 

Throughout history, humor has played a role in the darkest times. As the world collectively struggles with our current crisis, now is the perfect time moved and by art and enjoy a laugh. We are thrilled to offer this small collection of paintings and limited edition fine art prints by The Connor Brothers and Bambi...

In 2019 Ben Smith was commissioned by UK based Australian musician, Nick Cave to paint his portrait for his exhibition: "Stranger Than Kindness". The painting was the cover for a feature story on Nick Cave in The Sydney Morning Herald's "Spectrum" magazine on 4-5 April.

Nanda\Hobbs is pleased to release four new works by acclaimed Australian artist, Jun Chen. The Autumn Tree paintings have all the vitality and viscosity that the artist is famous for.

As it's becoming increasingly tricky to get out and about at the moment, we have been delving into the stockroom for interesting artworks that won't break the bank for your home collection—or indeed your brand new "home" office!

Given current circumstances, we have decided to open Chen Ping's exhibition Muse and Mountain online rather than the usual gallery opening.  So—instead of joining us at 6 pm on Thursday 19 March—simply view the exhibition right here, right now!

We're thrilled to announce the launch of our new website—nhprints.com.au—dedicated to beautiful, limited edition prints by some of the most celebrated and collectable artists in Australia and abroad.

Congratulations to Paul Ryan for his selection as a finalist in the 2019 Moran National Portrait Prize.

Gria Shead is about to embark on a residency programme in The Rodd estate on the English/Welsh border with the Sidney Nolan Trust where Nolan lived for the last ten years of his life. Gria was selected for the residency for her extensive work about Kate Kelly, sister of infamous bushranger Ned Kelly—one of the greatest inspirations throughout Nolan's career.

James Drinkwater is the most recent Newcastle-based artist to be given an extensive survey exhibition by the Newcastle Art Gallery. This is a remarkable privilege for an artist still in his mid-30s, since such surveys normally document an evolving career over maybe 50 years of making and exhibiting art.

Four Nanda\Hobbs artists have been selected for the 2019 Archibald Prize—Jun Chen, Luke Cornish, Jonathan Dalton, Paul Ryan with Jun Chen and Paul Ryan both doubling up. Jun Chen is also a Wynne Prize finalist and Paul Ryan is in the Sulman Prize.

Congratulations to Louis Pratt who has won two awards at Sculpture at Scenic World in the Blue Mountains. He has also been selected as a finalist in the 2019 Deakin University Contemporary Small Sculpture Award.
