Richard Lewer Claims the 2026 Archibald Prize

The Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) was buzzing yesterday as Richard Lewer was officially crowned the winner of the 2026 Archibald Prize. The Melbourne-based artist took home the prestigious $100,000 award for his life-size portrait of Iluwanti Ken, a revered Pitjantjatjara Elder, traditional healer (ngangkari), and senior artist from the APY Lands. Lewer, a six-time finalist, spent significant time with Ken at Tjala Arts in South Australia to capture her "immense, quiet authority," setting her against a vibrant yellow ochre background that evokes the intense heat and light of her home Country.The Board of Trustees noted they were "immediately drawn" to the power and energy of the work, which beautifully honors the deep respect between the two artists. While Lewer celebrated his "sixth time lucky" win, he emphasized that his primary intention was to bring a spotlight to Ken’s vital role as a cultural custodian. The exhibition, which includes other major winners like Gaypalani Waṉambi (Wynne Prize) and Lucy Culliton (Sulman Prize), officially opens to the public today, May 9, and will run until August 16. Don't miss your chance to see this year's 59 incredible finalists! ... See MoreSee Less
