Kevin Chin’s ‘So Inclined’ has been selected as a finalist in the 2025 Collie Art Prize.
‘So Inclined’ explores how Australian identity is uniquely shaped by isolation yet global connection. The landscape is inspired by regional WA in its vastness and solitude – but pieced together with lands across continents, to reference the many cultural traces we each inhabit. Clothes hanging outdoors suggest Asia and Europe, but are iconically Australian. The uncanny way they hang across the mountainside creates a sense of otherness, of searching. They mark home as something that must be made.
The highly anticipated Collie Art Prize is back for 2025, bringing together talented artists from across Australia.
The Collie Art Prize organising team invited artists across Australia to address the original theme of “Identity”.
