The Heysen Prize for Landscape 2024 invited artists to express their deep connection with – or concern for – protecting the Australian environment and to pay homage to Hans Heysen as an artist and environmentalist. Heysen raised awareness about the environment through his painting and passion for the landscape. He is noted as an early environmental activist, purchasing land to preserve the natural environment in and around Hahndorf and lobbying to protect trees in the area.
The Heysen Prize for Landscape is a contemporary art prize established in 1997 to commemorate the life and work of the internationally renowned artist (1877-1968). The prize has a focus on the environment and climate concerns. In an era of rapid climate change, battling fire and flood, drought and destruction, Australia has experienced one of the most significant losses of plant and animal species in the world. This is a biennial event celebrating emerging, mid-career and established artists and their connection to landscape and place with 2D and 3D works.
