The RBFVAF is a biennial award that supports a contemporary visual artist or artist team with an identifiable commitment to arts excellence. This year celebrates 20 years of the Fellowship, and marks the 30th Anniversary of the Rupert Bunny Foundation. This exhibition presents artwork from each Fellow, and also nods to the origin story of the Foundation through the display of the original painting The Forerunners by Rupert Bunny.
The Fellowship Award emphasises creative research and development, and each artwork in this exhibition attests to the artists extending their practice at pivotal points in their career. By expanding their imagination through experimentation of mediums and exploration of concepts, the artworks unfold across time and space in this retrospective.
