Jeremy Eden - Original Artwork 'Boy Conquers Universe'
About this item
Boy Conquers Universe (2025) | Jeremy Eden
Graphite and Charcoal on Paper | Unframed
76cm x 57cm
A striking and intimate study, ‘Boy Conquers Universe’ captures acclaimed young actor Felix Cameron with remarkable sensitivity and technical precision. Executed in graphite and charcoal, the work reveals Jeremy Eden’s mastery of tone, light, and texture—hallmarks of his celebrated hyperreal portrait practice.
Created in 2025 in preparation for an Archibald Prize submission, this piece offers a glimpse into the artist’s process, where observation and interpretation converge. Cameron, recognised for his award-winning performance in Boy Swallows Universe, is depicted with a quiet intensity that speaks to both character and moment.
Eden, a three-time Archibald finalist and 2022 People’s Choice Award winner, is widely regarded as one of Australia’s leading contemporary portraitists. Works of this nature—preparatory studies tied to the Archibald—are highly sought after for their rarity, making this an exceptional opportunity for collectors.
