Tommy Carman
Prudence MacLeod Prize
2026
Tommy Carman situates painting within a broader examination of work, competition, and the internalisation of social expectations, using labour as both a subject and strategy. He graduated with a Master of Fine Art from the National Art School, Sydney, in 2022. He was a finalist of the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship prize in 2024, and was the recipient of the Bird Holcomb Foundation scholarship in 2019. Recent exhibitions include solo shows at LAILA, Mega, and Chauffeur, and a two-person show with Corey Black at Sydenham International.
