He has been awarded international residencies in Paris and Beijing, where he was Australia’s first Asialink artist-in-residence at the Beijing Art Academy.
In 2014 Pople’s work was the focus of a solo exhibition at the Australian Centre for Photography. He has been a finalist several times in the Doug Moran and Archibald portrait prizes, and in recent years has won the Glover Art Prize, Sulman Prize, NSW Parliament Art Prize, Paddington and Mosman art prizes. Pople’s work is in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia and many state, university and private collections including those of Russell Crowe and Spike Jonze.
