This twelvemonth the winner is Bristol-based painter Adrian Sykes for capturing ‘the spirit of Bristol inwards 2013’. His icon "Beating Heart of Bristol" was judged the best of over 200 industrial plant which were created inwards Bristol in addition to entered inwards the contest during the summer.

The icon takes inwards a panoramic sentiment of the metropolis stretching from the Victorian houses of Jamaica Street in addition to Stokes Croft yesteryear the spire of St Pauls in addition to metropolis centre tower blocks to the hills inwards the South in addition to South East. The vogue is fanciful yet it includes the people in addition to the architectural exceptional that makes this utilisation of the metropolis come upward alive.

As with the Bath Prize, artists who entered were each allocated 1 of 34 locations inwards the City in addition to required to hit at to the lowest degree 1 run inspired yesteryear what they saw there. For additional entries they could select whatsoever location inwards the City.

More than one-half of the 114 painters contributing run to the demo were based inwards the Bristol expanse with others attracted to Bristol from equally far afield equally Northumberland, Cornwall, London in addition to County Clare.

You tin see the paintings produced on the contest website.  For the residual of this calendar month yous tin also run across The Bristol Art Prize Exhibition at The Guildhall Arts Centre, Small Street, Bristol BS1 1DW. Opening times : Tuesdays in addition to Wednesdays 2pm to 5pm; Thursdays, Fridays in addition to Saturdays 10am to 5pm

I mean value the prize is a cracking idea. It's a compassion to a greater extent than cities don't exercise likewise.
