Andrew Bonneau’s unique perception and ability to capture the essence of his subjects led to his selection as a finalist in the 2017 Archibald Prize.

Working predominantly with oils, Andrew’s subject matter includes portraits, figures, still life and landscapes – to which he brings a deep sensitivity of the forms of nature and the subtlety of light, embodying many qualities of the Western Realist tradition.

Born in Tasmania in 1981, Andrew earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts at The National Art School in Sydney and later studied with Charlie Sheard and at the Grand Central Academy, New York.

In addition to his selection as an Archibald Prize finalist, Andrew has been a finalist in many art prizes including the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize. His work has been exhibited in group and solo shows in Australia, Dubai and The United States and is in private and public collections around the world.
