First Prize
Knowing Myself
by Julie Gilroy
JUDGES COMMENTS
Bursting with colour and shapes seemingly in mid-air drew me to this artwork. The artist has a great sense of space and colour, and a lot of patience.
Second Prize
Transition
by Beverley Tainton
JUDGES COMMENTS
Wonderful sense of space. This artist has a confident stroke – it is the freedom that no doubt the artist enjoys, as do I.
Third Prize
Memories Fade
by Mark Gawne
JUDGES COMMENTS
I like the composition and the use of just the right amount of abstraction. The artist focussing on the left side flower is brilliant.
Highly Commended
Botanic
by Gabe Parker
JUDGES COMMENTS
A well balanced, interesting piece of art and skilfully delivered. I like the roughness of the edges and the natural colour of the metal.
Abstraction
by James Randall
JUDGES COMMENTS
The artist made a brilliant piece of digital art. I was drawn toward it, and it is unique; which all artists desire.
The Three Queens Have Arrived
by Tim Klein
JUDGES COMMENTS
This painting fascinated me, the sculptural elements containing a landscape, or just colourful stripes perhaps. This artist has a very good technique that allows you to enter through the blueness and into something else.
Fellows Selection
Open to eligible RQAS Members. Selected by Dr Kay Kane FRQAS
Trunk
by Glenda Markwell
SELECTORS COMMENTS
I was immediately drawn to this work. The rich glowing colours, composition, mark making and contrasting paint application does not disappoint on close inspection. Beautiful, free accentuation of silhouette serves to help hold the composition together.
Peoples Choice
Announced at end of the exhibition.
