The Royal Queensland Art Society would like to congratulate the finalists of the Queensland Figurative 2020 on their selection. The panel endeavoured to assemble a strong collection of artworks from a very competitive field that depicted the figure with a focus on how it was integrated into the composition.
The exhibition is on show in the Petrie Terrace Gallery until Sunday 4th October 2020, and online below.
