People’s Choice Award

Lucy Gable

Menopausal Me, 2022
Lucy Gable
Oil on panel, 40 x 40 cm | 15.7 x 15.7 in

“I’m particularly drawn to painting portraits in oil, often female, and I try to capture the over-riding emotion of a particular singular moment. I often find that those emotions are obscure but intense, and include exhaustion, fury, exasperation and joy. I try to challenge the artistic stereotype of female beauty which tends to depict women as passive, acquiescent, inviting or in pain.”

Amateur Artist Award

Kuangyi Liu

Interior No.5, 2021
Kuangyi Liu
Oil on canvas, 54 x 46 cm | 21.2 x 18.11 in

“I would like to capture what I see and how it makes me feel using the brushes and oil paint, be honest, from heart, by observation. I believe there is always something better to come, from practising and challenging myself.”

Student Award

Ginny Elston

The Burden of Being, 2022
Ginny Elston
Acrylic on paper, 120 x 168 cm | 47.2 x 66.1 in

“The Burden of Being is an uncomfortable confrontation of our ceaseless habits of consuming and discarding materials that will long outlive us on the planet. We spend our lives accumulating ‘stuff’, and I wanted to make a painting that speaks of the overwhelming and overbearing nature of this stuff.”
