Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 All Creatures and Wild Things exhibition! Pictured here is the winning artwork for second prize, Marvel by Soroor Behbahani.⁠
⁠
This artwork was judged by Martin Day and below are his comments on the piece:⁠ This pencil rendering of Octopus vulgaris is a remarkably detailed and skilful study that reflects the artist’s deep understanding of cephalopod anatomy, surpassing mere reliance on photographic⁠
reference. The composition, though ambitious, is thoughtfully executed, with striking contrasts in lighting and a well-balanced interplay between the rich, dark background and the vivid, intricately rendered foreground. It is a striking close-up composition, expertly perceived with exceptional detail and precision. Congratulations!⁠
⁠
The exhibition will be on show until Sunday, 11th of May. Make sure to come into the gallery to see the winners and all of the other amazing artworks entered into this exhibition.⁠
Please note the gallery will be closed tomorrow on ANZAC Day (Friday, 25th of April).⁠

Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 All Creatures and Wild Things exhibition! Pictured here is the winning artwork for first prize, Shadowfax by Terry Hadnutt.⁠
⁠
This artwork was judged by Martin Day and below are his comments on the piece:⁠ This is a powerful painting that captures the spirit and motion of a grey horse with remarkable energy and emotion. The swirling, ambiguous background—rendered in vivid, rich colours—creates a⁠
dynamic contrast that perfectly balances the composition. There’s a refi ned restraint at play, reflecting the artist’s seasoned instinct to stop at just the right moment, allowing the piece to breathe without overworking it. The result is a striking blend of impressionistic technique, thematic depth, and expressive colour use—a beautiful portrayal of movement and mood. Truly, a compelling and masterful work. Well done!⁠
