Dobell prize 2025: Australia's leading prize for drawing

The judges wrote they were 'most impressed' by 24-1's 'visual intensity', 'vibrant colour' and 'the extraordinary detail of the composition … The artwork's exploration of the urban landscape and gentrification of the Sydney suburbs of Ashfield and Summer Hill has produced an image which combines two landscapes, a construction and a demolition site. The artwork captures a broader sense of transience, and the omnipresence of construction sites and urban renewal in our cities today … This is an artwork for our times.'

The Dobell prize has existed since 1993 but since it was relaunched in 2019 the prize has 'expanded' its definition of what a drawing can be – meaning this year's finalists used media ranging from coloured pencil, charcoal, chalk and watercolour to clay, human hair and video.
