An initially intended painting of fresh flowers that left Australian visual artist Byron Copland dissatisfied has won the 2022 Kennedy Prize for its inherent and thought-provoking take on beauty. The celebrated national visual art competition, which called for entries under the theme of ‘Beauty’, has attracted a record-breaking number of entries this year from Australia’s finest artists for the $25,000 prize. Wollongong based visual artist Byron Copland, who has a passion for nature and the environment, created the award-winning artwork – entitled Ageing Still Life Diptych – using oils on wood panel. @kennedyartsfoundation
