'The journalist' depicts Australian editor and Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange following his arrest in London in 2019. Assange published several videos, documents, and logs detailing US war crimes, mass surveillance, and political misconduct. For this, Assange has been accused by the US of breaching the 1917 Espionage Act. This decision by the US has since been condemned by journalists, activists, and press freedom organisations. This piece was painted in response to the UK approval of Assange's extradition to the US. 'The journalist' urges the viewer to consider the case of Julian Assange and aims to protest the silencing of such journalists. The textural contrast in the thick, impasto oil paint and the bare canvas is a staple of my work and creates for a powerful and visual interesting piece from all angles.

Australia
Macklin Spicer is a self-taught Australian artist producing visually and texturally rich portraits in oil paint. Through their thick, impastoed works, Macklin explores a wide range of global issues - highlighting the tragic loss of life and innocence in crises such as the Syrian Refugee Crisis, the Israel-Palestine Conflict, the Covid-19 pandemic, and, in particular, the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In addition to their global focus, Macklin also creates paintings which seek to engage with the contemporary issues of gender and masculinity from their rural Victorian studio. Macklin’s passion and drive to create emotionally-driven, topical artworks find their roots in the works of Frank Auerbach, Wang Guangyi, and fellow Australian artist Ben Quilty. Shortly after graduating from high school in 2022, Macklin was exhibited at the International Baccalaureate Visual Arts Exhibition in Melbourne and was selected for an artist residency at Assumption College Kilmore.
