Portrait 23

Vipoo Srivilasa was commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra to create a new series of work for Portrait23: identity.

Portrait23: Identity is a major new exhibition marking the National Portrait Gallery’s third decade, 23 Australian artists and collectives have been invited to create portraits without constraints or boundaries.

This expansive exhibition and program features new work from contemporary Australian artists and collectives working across every state and territory. Responding to the broad concept of identity, each artist has been invited to realise a new approach to portraiture across a range of mediums, not only painting, drawing and photography, but street art, suspended textiles, performance, ceramics, bronze, and soft sculpture.  

Vipoo created a new series titled “Happy Australian” for the exhibition.

The exhibition will be from 10 March to 18 June 2023 at the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra.
