One of our artists-in-residence, Nilima, has recently submitted an artwork into this year’s ABC Portrait Prize: The Bradley!

Her piece, titled ‘Hey CG: Hands off my gal’, depicts renowned TV personality and green thumb Costa Georgiadis near an angry rooster.

Nilima says that the rooster was inspired from a chicken eatery poster during her recent travels to Busan, South Korea.

She also says that combining the angry rooster with Costa synchronised so well with her travels.

We support Nilima in her artistic endeavours and wish her the best of luck in The Bradley!
