Congratulations to Joshua Miels on winning The 2023 Bluethumb Art Prize for Portraiture, for his work ‘Galvanize’ (2023).

A selection of recent works by Miels will be present in our forthcoming exhibition ‘Lennox St. Summer’ from 6th December until 27 January.

A few words from Joshua on the occasion -

“Winning the Bluethumb Art Prize category for portraiture is a very special moment,” said Joshua. “For me, this prize is about the recognition for the years spent alone in the studio working, always trying to better myself as an artist. There are times where I’ve doubted myself and my relevance in the art world. A moment like this reinforces that I do belong and need to keep going."
