In these turbulent times. 2021 Gallipoli Art Prize In these turbulent times. 2021 Gallipoli Art Prize finalist. GUY WARREN Weeping soldier Oil on canvas 64 x 86cm ARTIST STATEMENT At the risk of offending good friends and colleagues I must confess that I have little sympathy for those who have used old battlegrounds for the purpose of producing good landscape paintings. It has nothing to do with the poor devils under the ground and indeed is rather like using them for the sake of a good painting. My painting is a protest against that. Soldiers do weep for their mates certainly, but mainly, also for the complete idiocy of war. Guy Warren Born: April 16, 1921 War service: 1941-46 Australia & Papua New Guinea, WWII
2025 Finalists Gallery. Artist details and their 2025 Finalists Gallery. Artist details and their statements are on the website. “I am always impressed by the diversity of the works and how individual artists choose to respond to the special qualities within the Gallipoli Memorial Club’s Creed. While the winner was a unanimous choice, there was much discussion amongst 5 paintings which were very competitive. These art works inspire us to reflect deeply on perpetual peace and universal freedom, which is much needed in the world today,” said John Robertson, President of the Gallipoli Memorial Club and one of the judges of the 2025 prize. Judging for this year’s Prize is conducted by Jane Watters, Barry Pearce, Elizabeth Fortescue and John Robertson. Previous winners of the Gallipoli Art Prize include prominent artists Euan Macleod (2009), Idris Murphy (2014) and Jiawei Shen (2016). Stencil artist, Luke Cornish, won the 2024 Art Prize with his Aerosol/Acrylic on canvas work – “The Pity of War” 2026 Art Prize call for entries closes 11 March. #artprize #gallipoli #ANZAC #visualart #worksonpaper
