This portrait behind me, Rhythms of Heritage, is this year's Packing Room Prize winner in
00:07
the prestigious Archibald Prize for Portraiture.
00:09
It's painted by graffiti artist Matt Adnate and depicts multi-talented rapper and artist
00:15
Baker Boy.
00:16
You can see in the portrait themes of Matt's background in graffiti art, his relationship
00:22
with Baker Boy, but also if you look closely into the subject's eyes you can see a reflection
00:27
of Arnhem Land where Baker Boy as a Yongu artist hails from in the Northern Territory.
00:33
We spoke with Matt about what he was trying to communicate with this piece.
00:37
With every portrait I paint I'm always trying to communicate something with that person's
00:42
emotion or whether it just even be their history or whatever.
00:47
But knowing Baker Boy quite personally adds an extra layer of the connection in the painting
00:53
and hopefully I'm able to communicate a bit more of his soul and his awesome energy through
00:59
the work.
01:01
Now the Packing Room Prize is the first prize to be awarded in the Archibald and it's selected
01:05
by the people who receive, unpack and hang the portraits.
01:10
This year's Archibald Prize has received more than 2,300 entries across the Archibald Prize,
01:17
the Sulman and the Wynne Prize.
01:19
Fifty-seven finalists have been selected in the Archibald Prize and the winner of the
01:24
$100,000 prize will be selected next Friday.
