ARTIST IN CONVERSATION | LUCILA ZENTNER
About
Learn about the stories behind Lucila Zenter’s portrait paintings in the Archibald Prize through her Artist in Conversation.Dr Lucila Zentner’s subject is acclaimed artist Wendy Sharpe, winner of the 1986 Archibald Prize for a self-portrait. Sharpe has held over 70 major exhibitions and won many prizes. In 1999, she was appointed an official war artist by the Australian War Memorial and posted to East Timor.
‘Evey time I walk into my studio, I imagine an altered version of Dante’s words over the door – “Abandon fear, ye who enter here,” says Zentner, a practising doctor and artist.
‘I met Wendy last year and was struck with a familiarity of sentiment when she said that as an artist you must not censor yourself. That’s what moved me to paint her for the Archibald.’
