King for a Day Shines at Small Works Art Prize 2025
The prestigious Small Works Art Prize 2025 at Melbourne’s Brunswick Street Gallery has just become a little more regal with the inclusion of two exclusive photographic artworks from King for a Day (KFAD). Known for celebrating masculinity and the nude male form through striking visual art, KFAD’s presence at this year’s annual event has turned heads and sparked conversations.
Exclusive Artworks Handpicked by the Artist
Specially produced for the exhibition, both showcased images were hand-selected by the artist from KFAD’s popular Elijah and Leo collections, each capturing the brand’s unique vision of strength, vulnerability and identity. These works exemplify the raw, emotional storytelling that our collectors enjoy. The artist’s meticulous attention to detail is evident even in the choice of modern semi-translucent framing, presenting a bold exploration of contemporary masculinity through the male body.
The Small Works Art Prize, with its emphasis on compact and deeply personal works, provided an ideal platform for KFAD to showcase our work. The scale of the exhibition invites viewers to engage closely with the pieces, creating an intimate dialogue between the art and its audience. Brunswick Street Gallery, known for celebrating innovation and emerging talent, proved a fitting venue for KFAD’s new bold and evocative works.

Behind the Elijah and Leo Collections
Featuring a 24-year-old amateur MMA fighter and fitness model, photographed on Australia's stunning Whitsunday Islands, the Elijah collection explores themes of confidence and resilience, with imagery that combines classic elegance with a modern edge. Meanwhile, featuring our 24-year-old Australian athlete, tradesman and model, the Leo collection dives into muscular, athletic forms, showcasing the power and movement of the male physique. Together, these two collections offer a nuanced and multifaceted perspective on nude masculinity, making them standout selections for this exhibition.
KFAD’s participation in the Small Works Art Prize reinforces its commitment to creating art that challenges stereotypes and celebrates diversity in masculinity. By participating in this prestigious event, the brand continues to bridge the gap between fine art and contemporary photography, offering collectors and enthusiasts something truly unique.
