Description

Some paintings are sealed off from the world: neat, polished, contained.

But Sophie Cape's canvases feel porous, weathered by the elements themselves. Not so much painted, as unearthed.

Once an elite athlete, Sophie turned to art after devastating injuries.

It's a path that has brought her attention and acclaim, including winning this year's Hadley's Art prize, Australia's richest prize for landscape painting.
