It wasn’t easy to choose, but I voted for Loribelle Spirovski’s “Finger painting of William Barton” in the Archibald Prize this year.

I love this painting for its looseness and freedom, the way it lets the light in.

A smiling Indigenous man sits on a chair in a pleasant room, with a large table next to him and a couch and bookcase visible behind him. He wears a white T-shirt and dark jeans and holds a yidaki (didgeridoo) between his knees. The brush strokes are loose, reminiscent of impressionism. Light is streaming in the window on one side, illuminating one side of the man’s face.
