Meet the finalists of the 2026 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize ahead of the exhibition at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf this spring.

One of our 49 finalists is Christian Atichian with his sculpture, Slow decay.

Carved from Carrara marble, Slow decay depicts a pair of familiar milk cartons in varying states of deformation. Their creases and folds trace the effects of ageing and decay, while the complementary forms suggest a quiet dialogue shaped by time and lived experience.

A Northern Beaches-based artist, Atichian works primarily with marble and steel. His work has been exhibited in Sculpture by the Sea Bondi, Sculpture Bermagui and the Tom Bass Prize, and he is a previous winner of the Northern Beaches Art Prize.

See Slow decay in the 2026 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize exhibition from 2 October–29 November 2026.

Meet the finalists of the 2026 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize ahead of the exhibition at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf this spring.

One of our 49 finalists is Benjamin Jay Shand with his sculpture, Array 17 (Fountain).

Working across art, architecture and object design, Shand explores essential materials, geometry and the possibilities of making. Array 17 (Fountain) brings together thermoformed acrylic and profiled mirror in a series of crystalline forms, creating a fountain seemingly frozen in place. Repetition, reflection and refraction transform the work as viewers move around it.

Shand’s sculptural work has been exhibited and commissioned for projects including La Biennale di Venezia, Vivid Sydney, Sculpture by the Sea and the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize.

See Array 17 (Fountain) in the 2026 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize exhibition from 2 October–29 November 2026.

Meet the finalists of the 2026 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize ahead of the exhibition at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf this spring.

One of our 49 finalists is Anita Johnson with her sculpture, Holding care.

Anita Johnson is based on Dharawal Country. Her practice explores gestures of care, repair and transformation. In Holding care, a beeswax hot water bottle sits beneath a bronze form cast from the space between the artist’s cupped hands, exploring touch, comfort, support and vulnerability.

Johnson has exhibited widely across Australia, including at Wollongong Art Gallery, Tamworth Regional Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of NSW.

Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf will host the 2026 Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize exhibition from 2 October until 29 November 2026.
