OPEN PRIZE (All entries eligible)
Sponsored by DFD Rhodes
WINNER: Vanessa Wardle – 138 – No. 1 (Works on Canvas/Board)
“This is simply a beautiful, seductive work, skillfully produced. An abstract landscape - you could imagine it being just about any stretch of coast or hills or forest by night. Well that’s what came to my mind; the meaning is truly in the eye of the beholder.”
Works on Canvas / Board Sponsored by Hampton Partners
1st prize: Dee Credaro – 107 – Caves House, Open Area
“This delightful painting leapt off the wall at me. Though it is small, I couldn’t go past its texture, depth, light and shadow.”
2nd prize: John Garde – 194 – Hay Bales (Bunker Bay)
“Another small painting beautifully executed. Composition, use of colour and painting technique evoke the tranquillity of this rural scene”
Highly Commended: Gemma Mangano – 191 – After Icarus
Highly Commended: Wes Nash – 187 – Living Swell
Works on Paper Sponsored by Boyup Brook IGA
1st prize: Kellee Merritt – 27 – Bling
“This work shines and reflects. A whole landscape of people and activity captured as well as the beauty and joy of the car. I was drawn to the surface and when I looked closely, I found the detail. Unexpected in the watercolour medium”
2nd prize: Kyle Meredith – 168 – Reality Checkpoint II
“Meticulously detailed. Brightly coloured yet incredibly bleak. A congested, pointless wasteland is represented here.”
Highly Commended: Cathy Josephs – 9 – Pure Energy
Mixed Media Sponsored by Beulah Wines
1st prize: Dallas Pegrum – 26 – Under the Stage Lights
“The fine detail and shading of the pyrography is delicately rendered, making for a very sensitive portrait of the subject. The use of colour highlights and adds strength.”
2nd prize: Chris Bleechmore – 157 – Circles
"Skilled use if interesting and varied materials makes for a fully resolved work.”
Textiles Award (incl patchwork, needlework, etc) Sponsored by Tulips With a Difference
1st prize: Lee Nash – 185 – Tangle of Blue
“This work immediately attracted me. A piece of ocean on a mannequin. With all the variety of colour, force and flow of seawater.”
2nd prize: Lee Nash – 184 – Wrapped in Vincent
“A magnificent jacket with breathtaking colour. The variety of techniques and textures come together seamlessly as a whole.”
Highly Commended: Beverley Prideaux – 37 – Pink and Grey Family
3D Sculptures Sponsored by Talison Lithium
1st prize: Dillon Monteiro – 121 – Bull
“The bull in this small work has character, movement and life. This has been achieved by an inspired choice of found metal pieces and the skill demonstrated in putting them together.”
2nd prize: Christine Latham – 113 – On Country – Uluru
“A complex and layered work, a sign of the changing fall of sculptured using new materials and techniques.”
Highly Commended: Dillon Monteiro – 122 – Tractor; 123 – Birds; 124 – Scorpion
John Sanders – 170 – Horse of the Sea
Young Artist Award (Under21) Sponsored by Boyup Brook Farm Supplies
