Lynn Painter Stainer Prize - 2013 Exhibition Coloured greys in addition to splashes of colour |
- Nobody was shouting inwards terms of their color palette. There are lots of coloured greys in addition to fine gradations of tones which nosotros are so used to seeing for 6 months of the twelvemonth addition splashes of color but zip which jars or does something every bit uncouth every bit maxim "LOOK AT ME"!
- There's a huge amount of subtlety inwards bear witness inwards terms of brushwork, scumbling in addition to laying on of pigment - it's a corking exhibition for those who similar looking at the epitome procedure every bit good every bit at paintings!
- There are too a lot of slightly quirky figurative paintings. in addition to really picayune hyperrealism. Those paintings which are really realistic are too strange (on a arrive at of 'slightly' to 'very') inwards a dissimilar way. There are absolutely no straightforward realistic paintings of the 'copy a photo' variety.
- For some argue I noticed a lot of landscapes this twelvemonth - I'm non certain if in that location are to a greater extent than or they're larger or ameliorate - but I came away thinking I'd seen a fair few!
- The paintings which tend to bring nearly comport on are larger
- It contains operate yesteryear a lot of artists who bring won major prizes inwards the yesteryear addition senior members of prestigious fine art societies. I was less witting this year, when compared to previous years, of this exhibition beingness a stepping rock for of import emerging artists every bit it has been inwards the past.
- I was struck yesteryear how many really skilful woman soul artists bring operate inwards the exhibition. You tin run across operate yesteryear Runner Up Jennifer McRae in addition to Patricia Cain below.
Not a lot of paintings bring been sold. However the prices are rather high for the human foot traffic this gallery commonly gets. Looks similar peradventure the correct collectors didn't plough upward to the PV or they don't similar the pick this twelvemonth - which is a compassion every bit I mean value it's a skilful exhibition
