Four painters from Papunya Tula Artists have been selected as finalists in the Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
For three artists—Angus Tjungurrayi, Rambo Tjungurrayi and Aubrey Tjangala—this marks their first selection as Wynne Prize finalists. Lorna Napanangka returns as a finalist, following her previous inclusion in 2006, when her work was acquired by the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The Wynne Prize recognises outstanding Australian landscape painting and figure sculpture. Following its presentation at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, the 2026 exhibition will tour regional galleries for a year, extending public access to the shortlisted works across Australia.
