Congratulations to the winners of the 136th RQAS Members Annual exhibition! Pictured here are the winners of section 4 (3D and sculpture) and the Young Artist Excellence Award, please scroll down to see the comments from our judges Judy Hamilton and Marcel Desbiens:⁠
⁠
1st Prize: Mamma Moona by Zygmunt Libucha⁠
"A wonderful sculpture. There is so much suppressed energy in this piece. The woman`s face is a wonderful construct of lines - the nose, the secret little smile. There would never be a dull moment with this sculpture."⁠
⁠
2nd Prize: Rust and Reel by Angelo Marasigan⁠
"Clever use of found `stuff`. The cogwheel at the top may be the sun but it signifies the passage of time. Clever combinations of materials, full of life."⁠
⁠
Young Artist Excellence Award in Painting and Sculpture: Lake Moogerah by Isaac Liaw⁠
"Surprisingly well composed for a young artist. The eye travels naturally from foreground to background, a classic Renaissance technique. Calm colours and expressive brushwork bring it to life. Keep painting!"⁠
⁠
Sections 1 and 4 will be on show at Petrie Terrace Gallery until Sunday, 14th of June; make sure to come into the gallery to see all of the finalists, and place your vote for the People`s Choice Award!⁠ ...

Congratulations to the winners of the 136th RQAS Members Annual exhibition! Pictured here are the winners of section 1 (oil and acrylic), please scroll down to see the comments from our judge Marcel Desbiens:⁠
⁠
1st prize: Granite Form Composition by Tim Dennis⁠
"I really like the unusual paint texture, an original way to create a realistic effect. Massive granite boulders, surging white water, a stormy sky. The coast at its most wild and beautiful."⁠
⁠
2nd prize: Spirits by the Sea: Twilight by Dr. Kay Kane F.R.Q.A.S @artladyk⁠
"Muted tones, flowing trees and ethereal figures create a beautifully dreamlike atmosphere. There is a quiet melancholy to this work - the last light of day fading into darkness. Magical and poetic."⁠
⁠
Highly Commended: Adeline Falls, Blue Mountains by Casey Charles @casey.charles⁠
"Meticulous brushwork bordering on photorealism. Dramatic light floods the falls against deep shadowed walls, drawing the eye upward in quiet reverence. A deeply meditative connection to the natural world. Beautifully achieved."⁠
⁠
Highly Commended: Adder Rocks by Jo Cochrane @jocochrane_artist⁠
"Impressive paint application with a soothing result. Confident realist technique with beautifully varied textures and a light, atmospheric sky that perfectly complements the detailed foreground."⁠
⁠
Sections 1 and 4 will be on show at Petrie Terrace Gallery until Sunday, 14th of June; make sure to come into the gallery to see all of the finalists, and place your vote for the People`s Choice Award!⁠ ...
