About RSASA/SALA 4th Portrait Prize Demonstrations
Apart from the amazing finalists work on the walls and the prizes what is special about the RSASA/SALA Portrait Prize is the portrait demonstrations. Watching the artists create portraits is watching art being born.
The subject is the human face and pose, live in the gallery. Watching the work come to life is a privilege. When we experience the synergy of a life-long practice, intense observation, immense skill and alchemy come together in harmony. Sheer magic happens before your eyes.
We are honoured and privileged to be able to watch these distinguished artists display their craft.

Adam Dutkiewicz’s latest monograph
ANDREW STEINER: SCULPTING ESSENCE
Modern Art in South Australia no. 9
Initially, his approach was mainly as a carver of 3D biomorphic shapes, unlocking aesthetically pleasing forms in his chosen pieces of wood. Over the years he has become especially fond of the discarded limbs of Tasmanian Huon pine, although Blackwood features prominently too, and his skills have developed in bronze and metal and in works that rely on found objects.
Steiner is a Fellow and Honorary Life Member of RSASA and is a Past President. He was awarded an OAM for his work in the community, teaching about the Holocaust and trying his best to sew seeds in the minds of young people about the dangers of authoritarian impulses in politics and the inevitable inhuman outcomes of spreading hatred and division. He is a true multiculturalist and internationalist.
In 2006 and 2007 he took a solo exhibition of recent and retrospective works to the RSASA Gallery and Gallery M at Marion in Adelaide. He has undertaken numerous sculptural and leadlight commissions in his local community, as well as interstate and overseas, including his Remember The Holocaust I and II, memorials to the victims of the Holocaust for the Jewish Holocaust Museum in Melbourne and the Memorial Museum of Hungarian-Speaking Jewry in Safed, Israel.
