In 2023, Summer held her first solo show at Lethbridge Gallery, and later won the biennial $35,000 Naked & Nude Art Prize. Hers was the first drawing to win the award in its 34 years.
“Having spent time with all the entries in the flesh, I found myself continually lured back to Summer Aldis’s large scale drawing Companion II.
Depicting a softly rendered body lying perfectly still, suspended, and draped in a wave of deftly rendered fabric, this rich and aesthetically alluring work of art while quiet, is extremely powerful.
Through the artist’s technically distilled and precise practice of drawing with graphite on paper, it explores thematic elements such as time, memory, symbology, light and dark, and reflects an artist whose attention to detail and precision is second to none.”
