This is art in the making – a dynamic and intimate exploration of Australia’s most engaging artists capturing each other in portraiture. In this ambitious endeavour, fifty artists are thoughtfully paired, offering a rare glimpse into their artistic processes and personal connections.

Through striking imagery and candid conversations, readers are invited into the shared creative space where each brushstroke, pencil line or camera click reveals not just a physical likeness, but the inspirations, histories and artistic philosophies that bind these visionaries together. Archival materials and personal reflections trace each artist’s journey.
As insightful as it is diverse, Artists by Artists is a conversation that unfolds from the sofa to the studio, from the spoken word to the painted canvas. It is an essential document of Australia’s contemporary art scene.
