Country artist wins inaugural MacarthurCook Art Award
- 5 July 2007
Melbourne: The inaugural MacarthurCook Art Award has been won by an artist from country Victoria, Mitch Lang.
The painting depicts three human bodies with houses for heads in a dramatic rendering of the competition theme, “Depicting the role of the built environment in which we live”.
First prize was $15,000.
Ms Lang said her oil painting, Houses Awaiting, was originally inspired by a self-portrait she painted in the 1980s when she bought her first home.
“I had painted a ‘house head’ in the 1980s when I bought my first home and when I heard about the MacarthurCook Art Award, I went back to that image because that is my image of home,” she said.
“In the ‘80s when I bought my first house in the country, it meant quite a lot to me. At the time, I did my self-portrait with my house as my head. It was my way of saying that a home becomes a very important part of our identity in Australia.
“The final painting I submitted for the award also explores how forlorn and lonely a house looks when there is no-one living there. But you know, the painting is open to interpretation and hearing other people’s interpretations is one of the things I like about exhibiting."
MacarthurCook Managing Director Craig Dunstan said the winning entry was “a fascinating interpretation of a very fundamental part of Australian life”.
