Tricky Walsh Strikes Gold: Finalist in $50,000 Art Prize

Congratulations to Tricky Walsh, who has been selected as a finalist in the 2026 Gold Award!

 

Held at the Rockhampton Museum of Art, this $50,000 biennial acquisitive award is Queensland’s largest art prize, and aims to showcase outstanding talent in contemporary Australian art.

 

Tricky Walsh (they/them) is a non-binary artist whose projects focus on both spatial and communication concerns in an increasingly speculative manner. Their practice of material experimentation draws on a diversity of media, and with a speculative approach, Tricky’s work focuses on either mechanical or architectural languages and how those have defined us and our behaviours.
