Portrait of strength wins the 2019 Archibald Prize ANZ People`s Choice award
(Artdaily.org)
 


Second time Archibald Prize finalist David Darcy has been crowned the 2019 ANZ People’s Choice award winner with his portrait of Daisy Tjuparntarri Ward, a respected elder of the Warakurna community and Ngaanyatjarra people of Western Australia. Remarkably, the Upper Hunter based Darcy has been an Archibald prize finalist twice in consecutive years after only taking up painting full-time two and half years ago. Darcy decided to paint Mrs Ward after meeting her last year and the two quickly hit it off and became good friends. “Last year Tjuparntarri walked into my studio looking for art supplies. Over several weeks, we got to know each other, and I discovered I’d met an extraordinary woman. “Tjuparntarri is a beautiful human being. She is a strong, proud indigenous women of great substance. It was an honour to paint her and I am overwhelmed with pride knowing that through my endeavours, her portrait has connected with so many people. Thank you to everyone who voted!&
