Copacabana artist David Charles has been awarded the prestigious ABC Western Plains Prize at Art Unlimited 2025 for his evocative artwork Afternoon Glow.
The prize honours the piece that best depicts the unique spirit and landscape of western NSW.
The announcement was made at the Art Unlimited opening night on Friday, June 20, at Dunedoo, showcasing a vibrant celebration of regional creativity.
Judge Natasha Lunnis said Charles’ winning work was a dynamic portrayal of the western NSW landscape.
“The work beautifully encapsulates the detail and colour within the landscape,” she said.
“The application of the clouds creates movement across the canvas and suggests the passing of time in a still work.”
Art Unlimited continues to attract a diverse range of artists, photographer and ceramicists, including many new entrants from the Central Coast including Killcare, Wamberal and Terrigal.
It highlights the enduring appeal of regional art shows.
