The minute prize was won yesteryear Michael H5N1 due east Williams for a prototype called Land, Sea, Place.

I was unable to seat a painter called Michael Williams who painted using water-based paints when doing my selected creative mortal transportation inwards the summertime (see below). However the Lord's Day Times Colour Magazine - which has an article nearly the prizewinners - indicates that Michael Williams lives inwards Gloucestershire simply has had a real long association amongst Wales - together with that this prototype is of the isle of Skomer.  As a result, amongst a few to a greater extent than clues, I've right away constitute his website - together with these are some of his recent paintings.

Williams is non i to accept wages of H2O colours propensity for ambivalence. He avoids that wet, blotter-like seepage together with slippage, which tin transportation away easily facilitate atmosphere, approximation together with ambiguity. Rather, he rigorously manipulates the challenges of this medium yesteryear accumulating discrete marks to gradually cook a unifying structure, (he never uses white pigment equally a agency of reversal or correction). This involves a balancing human activity betwixt the surface demands of rhythm, designing together with exceptional (the known) together with the wishing to actualize low-cal together with infinite (the transcendent)? Consequently, at that topographic point is a potent feel of particularity inwards these industrial plant that affirms both inwardness together with fragility.
The Smith & Williamson Cityscape Prize (£1,500) was won yesteryear Leo Davey for a real effective prototype of the persuasion of a canal nether a distich together with associated reflections inwards the water.
