Royal Society Portraits Go To Burra

This collection of portraits from artists of the Royal South Australian Society of Arts comprise of portraits that were finalists in RSASA Portrait Prize and Characters of the Fleurieu Prize of 2018, both $10,000 first prizes. They all demonstrate a fascinating interplay between artist and sitter, and demand a response from those who look long and hard. Character is inherent in the face we show to the world. The interplay between artist and 'subject', with the artist's intensity of gaze and powers of analysis result in a portrait that shows the soul of portrait sitter.
