Michael Zavros Bad Dad 2013

Zavros’s accomplished and compelling painting Bad dad was shortlisted for the 2013 Archibald Prize and will be familiar to many as a highlight of our ‘GOMA Q: Contemporary Queensland Art’ exhibition last year. Continuing an art-historical tradition that stretches from Caravaggio to Koons, this self-portrait reflects the artist’s interest in narcissism in the contemporary world, and is executed in a medium that superbly displays his technical virtuosity.
