Keith Burt has been announced as the recipient of the major prize at the 2020 Brisbane Portrait Prize. His painting, Urban Artists, was awarded the prize by judge Nick Mitzevich who expressed "The physical likeness of the subjects is captured with an expressive brushstroke technique and a monochromatic pallet – the artist does not waste a single tone. Shades of grey and blue are deployed in a generous manner, to create form, likeness and character."
Urban Artists, oil on canvas, 66x84cm
