INDONESIAN ARTIST JUMAADI WINS AWARD AT THE BLAKE PRIZE

If you missed the 56th Blake Prize for Religious Art, you can see it
at Ashfield's Delmar Gallery. The prize, one of the most prestigious
in Australia, is the only one devoted entirely to non-denominational
religious art. Whisper by Indonesian artist Jumaadi was awarded the
Inaugural $5000 John Coburn Award for Emerging Artists. For the
judges, Jumaadi's work was "like a broken- up and laid out manuscript.
Evoking the multiplicity of experiences and giving vignettes in the
confusing lives of its actors, it references much in art as it does in
life which causes one to pause, consider, and yet enjoy its street
-wise comic -book illustrations, as well as its deft intelligence.
Viewing this work, like judging the Blake prize itself, was like
sitting in a gallery of restless stories."

The exhibition will be opened on Saturday, 19 January 2008, 3pm-5pm
and run until February 17 at 144 Victoria Street, Ashfield.
