Gillian Govan Wins 2026 Art Almanac Award for Bronze Sculpture Sea Breeze

Gillian Govan, a sculptor from Melbourne, received the Art Almanac Award during the 2026 Annual and Awards Exhibition held by the Association of Sculptors of Victoria. Her award-winning piece, Sea Breeze, is a bronze sculpture created in 2026, measuring 50 × 55 × 27 centimeters. This artwork captures the essence of a beach stroll, reflecting the gentle touch of the sea breeze and the happiness of shared experiences. Judge Daniel Agdag commended the expressive portrayal of wind-swept hair, which evokes the feeling of ocean air, and he also appreciated the whimsical inclusion of a bird in flight. The award is sponsored by Art Almanac, an Australian art magazine. More details about the exhibition and award can be accessed at sculptorsvictoria.asn.au.
