A poignant painting depicting a mass fish-kill in the Murray Darling River has won the $20,000 Korea-Australia Arts Foundation (KAAF) 2019 Art Prize.

The insightful winning work titled The Churning, by accomplished award-winning artist Julie Harris, was created in response to the drought and poor water flow and quality which has caused mass fish deaths in the Murray Darling River.

Two $2,000 KAAF Highly-Commended Prizes were awarded to Sydney-based figurative artist Colleen Stapleton, who's work Vivid depicts a woman in profile and Vipoo Srivilasa, who meticulously-crafted bronze figurines titled The Course of True Love.

The KAAF Art Prize, supported by the Korean Cultural Centre (KCC) Australia, is open to Australian citizens or permanent residents over 18 years who can submit any 2D artwork with open themes and medium. This year 56 finalists were selected from over 500 entries by KAAF judges - renowned Sydney Morning Herald Art Critic John McDonald, Sydney College of the Arts Senior Lecturer Oliver Smith and Yongsun Suh, a former Professor of Seoul National University in South Korea.

• Winner ($20,000 cash prize, acquisitive) - Julie Harris, The Churning
• Highly Commended ($2,000 cash prize each, non-acquisitive) - Colleen Stapleton, Vivid; & Vipoo Srivilasa, The Course of True Love
