McLean Edwards No Immunity

Edwards’ practice to date has concentrated on the human figure – especially self portraiture. Stylistically his paintings can be compared to artists such as William Dobell and Russell Drysdale or more recently with American painter George Condo. His strong following is a testament to his rich and prolific practice that positions Edwards as one of Australia’s most influential figurative painters.

Edwards was an Archibald Prize finalist in 2007, 2006 and 2004. He is collected widely in public institutions including the University of Queensland Art Museum, Brisbane; Artbank; Orange Regional Art Gallery, Orange and the Australian War Memorial Museum, Canberra. He is also featured in the current issue of Australian Art Collector.
