A haunting portrait of 's boyfriend Adam Hyde has been named as a finalist in the Archibald Prize.

The painting of Adam, 35,  who is one half of EDM duo Peking Duk, as well as performing solo under the moniker Keli Holiday, was one of 59 selected for the prestigious prize on Thursday.

Titled 'Keep on Stingin’', the portrait, painted by Sydney-based illustrator Sindy Sinn, is a close-up of Adam's face sporting a serious expression.

The eye-catching piece features a definite 'pop-art' influence with its thick, bold outlines. 

The large-scale work adopts an impressionistic vibe rather than strict realism, capturing Adam's high-energy stage persona.

Taking to Instagram to describe the work, Sindy said that his subject trusted him completely to capture him on canvas.

It's not the first time that the artist has submitted a portrait for the iconic art prize.
