Wondai Art Gallery curator Elaine Madill with the winner of the 2019 South Burnett Acquisitive … Hivesville artist\u00a0Shannus O’Sullivan’s “Sold Up, Moving On”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 7, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Celebrated Hivesville artist Shannus O’Sullivan has works hanging in collections in Asia, Europe and America … now two of his evocative pieces are in the South Burnett Regional Council’s permanent collection.<\/p>\n

His work, “Sold Up, Moving On” – a sharp depiction of hard times on the land – was awarded the $3000 Acquisitive Prize in the annual South Burnett Art competition on Friday night at Wondai Gallery.<\/p>\n

It will be added to Council’s collection alongside Shannus’ 2017 winner, “Crossroads”.<\/p>\n

An earlier work is also in Wondai Art Gallery’s permanent collection.<\/p>\n

This is the 12th year the South Burnett Acquisitive has been held, but it is the first year it has been opened up to entries from outside the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

It had a record $9000 in total prize money and attracted an amazing 187 entries.<\/p>\n

Despite the wider number of entries, South Burnett artists dominated the prizes.<\/p>\n

Wondai Art Gallery curator Elaine Madill paid tribute to the sponsors and all the volunteers who had made the exhibition possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She said the independent judge – organised via Museum and Galleries Queensland – had a hard time selecting the winners.<\/p>\n

“Bruce Heiser has his own gallery in Brisbane,” Elaine said.<\/p>\n

Elaine said when she started making the winners’ cheques out, she thought to herself “You know your job!”<\/p>\n

“In 50 to 100 years, these Acquisition pieces will be the history of the South Burnett.”<\/p>\n
