Biography
Edward Jack Humphrey (b. 1998) is a visual artist born in Sydney, working on the lands of the Gamaragal people. After graduating from the National Art School in 2019, Edward has exhibited in local galleries and major art prizes. Inspired by the figure and a deep appreciation for Sydney’s coastal landscapes, Edward uses oil paint to blend these influences into a harmonious portrait where the sun, ocean and atmosphere amplify the emotion felt by the subject. He was a finalist in the Bluethumb Art Prize (2021), Archibald Prize (2020), the Salon des Refusés (2018), and the Royal Art Society of NSW Art Prize (2018). His artworks are held in private collections across Australia.
