Sandra Wall Armitage, the novel President of the Society of Botanical Artists led the prize giving ceremony for the deserving botanical artists at this year's Annual Exhibition.
She was assisted past times the Speaker who opened the exhibition, Dr Nigel Dunnet, Professor of Planting Design in addition to Vegetation Technology, in addition to Director of The Green Roof Centre, University of Sheffield. He was 1 of the people responsible for the wildflower meadows which were such a characteristic of the Olympic Park. You tin follow Nigel in addition to his plants on https://twitter.com/NigelDunnett - he posts lots of pics of plants - peculiarly ones relating to dark-green roofs!
The Gallery has had a refurbishment in addition to I cause got to state at nowadays provides a much amend looking environs for the exhibition which looked excellent. The fake ceilings in addition to battening on the walls cause got all gone in addition to the novel walls in addition to pigment convey a real fresh expect to the infinite which inwards my sentiment alone enhances the artwork.
The store has been relocated in addition to appeared to survive doing extremely well! (see yesterday's post service - What every fine art club needs - an exhibition shop)
The Diploma also has a real clear infinite for those interested inwards finding out most studying for the qualification in addition to the character of the pupil hand off display was exceptional.
One of the things I peculiarly liked this twelvemonth was the agency real informative labels had been introduced for some works (I gauge it was optional?) in addition to therefore that visitors tin non alone admire the fine art but also larn something most the constitute they are looking at and/or the approach adopted past times the artist. You tin come across 1 of these listed below nether Claire Ward's artwork.
One slight reservation I had is that some of the works were hung rather high for a proper appreciation of the artwork. This meant I was also fighting amongst the lighting when taking pictures which were hung high - every bit it was in addition to therefore rigid it was producing "white outs" - in addition to I apologise to all those artists if their artwork is non quite true.
I empathise there's a notion that perchance the release of works accepted should survive reduced inwards futurity to improve the hang for visitors. I similar the fact it has 677 works summation the sculpture - even in addition to therefore a flake of a prune may good survive inwards order.
However, this volition nowadays the choice panel amongst something of a challenge every bit the criterion of exhibit is real high this year. One of the interesting characteristics of the exhibition this twelvemonth was seeing some of the people who cause got late qualified either amongst SBA or inwards Edinburgh "hitting their stride" in addition to initiative of all to submit superior travel - every bit reflected inwards the awards in addition to Certificates of Botanical Merit. I tin alone imagine the criterion volition hold to improve twelvemonth on year!
I also noted a abrupt surge inwards the release of works beingness submitted in addition to hung amongst a dark background.
