...Highly commended was the more traditional oils and enamel work 'Self Portrait as King Abdullah of the Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere', by seventh generation Muslim Australian Abdul Abdullah.
"The image is really strong and the painting is beautiful,''[Stuart Bailey] said.

For Abdullah, it's a bit of rejection of the popular understanding of an Australian identity.'' ...
