Dylan Mooney has won the 2023 Brisbane Portrait Prize with his portrait Still Thriving.
Still Thriving focuses on love in queer communities. Its subjects stand proudly and defiantly, gazing out at the viewer. Identity, desire, and representation are brought together to promote discussions of art that include acknowledgment of works created by members of groups that have often been overlooked or under-represented in the broader art world, deftly illustrating issues affecting the queer community’s lived experience in ways that are poignant and very much of our moment.
