Portrait 23: Identity

Vipoo Srivilasa in his studio, 2022 Mark Mohell. Photographed on the land of the Bunurong People of the Kulin Nation.

Portrait23: Identity is a major exhibition of new work from multi-award-winning contemporary Australian artists and collectives working across every state and territory. Street art, textiles, performance, photography, ceramics, painting, drawing, soft sculpture and bronze challenge the boundaries of portraiture. Many of the works move eloquently between installation, video, and animation, inviting you, the viewer, inside the portrait.

Vipoo Srivilasa is part of Twenty-three artists and collectives in the show.

Vipoo Srivilasa’s Happy Australian is a series of ten ceramic portraits inspired by selected submissions of people designing their most ‘Australian Eleganza Extravaganza outfit’ to wear on the happiest occasion of their life.
