Sydney-based artist Julia Gutman is a first-time Archibald Prize finalist and one of the youngest winners in the history of the prize.
Gutman is a multi-disciplinary artist who reuses found textiles to produce painted ‘patchworks’ that merge personal and collective histories to explore themes of femininity, intimacy and memory.
Her winning portrait features singer-songwriter Montaigne, who has become an important figure on the Australian indie music scene.
'I’m so grateful to be working at a time when young female voices are heard,’ says Gutman.
