Artist’s Choice: Michael Zavros

Overview

Brisbane-based artist Michael Zavros has been selected as the next artist responsible for curating QAGOMA's Artist's Choice exhibition.

Zavros, hailed as a prominent mid-career Queensland artist, has selected an eclectic range of works ranging from painting, photography and ceramics to furniture and taxidermy. The series is being labelled as 'densely opulent' thanks to the wide array of reimagined media.

In 2012 Michael Zavros was awarded the inaugural Bulgari Art Award and in 2010 he was awarded the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize, the world's richest prize for portraiture and held the celebrated project exhibition.

This series runs until June 23 and features works from artists such as Eric Wilson, A.M.E. Bale, Arthur Murch, Schulim Krimper, LJ Harvey, Willem de Kooning and Bridget Riley.
