Congratulations to the winners of the 135th Members Annual - Painting and Sculpture exhibition! Pictured here is the winner of Second Prize, Section 1 (Oil and Acrylic Painting), Goat Man by Charlie McGann.⁠
⁠
This artwork was judged by Sue Smith and below are her comments on the piece:⁠ An inventive and quirky “double portrait” of a man and beast. This work has both visual and intellectual appeal, sparking the viewer’s curiosity about the artist’s choice of subjects. The handling of thick paint in quite a small work and the vigorous brushwork have verve and result in a sensuous artwork.⁠
⁠
Sections 1 and 4 will be on show until Sunday, 22nd of June at Petrie Terrace Gallery. We will then change the exhibition over and have sections 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 on display.⁠

Congratulations to the winners of the 135th Members Annual - Painting and Sculpture exhibition! Pictured here is the winner of First Prize - Section 1 (Oil and Acrylic Painting), Queensland Castles by Glen Gillard.⁠
⁠
This artwork was judged by Sue Smith and below are her comments on the piece:⁠ From humble old weatherboard cottages to modern high rise structures, are in this work elevated to “iconic” status with the use of a gold background. The composition is creative and thoughtful with its use of a grid structure to convey multiple viewpoints and to contrast the old (including two elderly citizens as well as cottages) with the bold new city skylines. Skilful and fluent draftsmanship and brushwork, and a visually appealing command of colour, texture, light and shade also contribute to making this a compelling, “stand out” work.⁠
⁠ ⁠
Sections 1 and 4 will be on show until Sunday, 22nd of June at Petrie Terrace Gallery. We will then change the exhibition over and have sections 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 on display.⁠
