UKCPS 11th Annual Open International Exhibition 2012 - Award Winners
You tin mail away unwrap the Award Winners on the UKCPS website. I've also got them listed below along amongst links to their websites as well as artwork.
What's noticeable this twelvemonth is that many of the transcend honour winners bring non won a prize amongst the Society before. Indeed I don't know a publish of the names which suggests they've non exhibited amongst UKCPS before.
I institute it interesting - as well as really exciting - that the transcend prize went to a coloured pencil drawing of people. All David Sandall's operate on coloured newspaper are self-evidently drawings. He chooses to refrain from filling all the background. His operate inward no agency attempts to masquerade equally a painting.
I authorities annotation that the Awards bring also moved on ane time again as well as that at that topographic point is forthwith an honour for soundless life which memorialises Peter Woof who died on September 27 2011, aged 55, only earlier the last annual exhibition. Still life was an aspect of coloured pencil fine art which Peter made his own!
Artwork I liked
Here's the artwork I liked - based on the Picasa slideshow which gives y'all an fantabulous stance of all the artwork inward the show. I've included links to artists who bring non been mentioned above.
I've non been to Nuneaton as well as so these observations are done from the perspective of the online exhibition of all the operate selected for the Exhibition.
I bring to state I institute the plant selected for the exhibition both pleased as well as disappointed me. It's skillful to meet to a greater extent than or less novel as well as to a greater extent than professional person artists getting involved amongst the society. It's skillful to meet to a greater extent than or less novel styles as well as to a greater extent than or less fantabulous quality.
At the same fourth dimension it's disappointing to unwrap that the Society soundless has to a greater extent than or less agency to larn earlier there's a greater congruence betwixt the artwork selected for this exhibition as well as the type of artwork I meet at the exhibitions of other national fine art societies. For example, as ever at that topographic point is a huge emphasis inward the UKCPS exhibition on highly realistic artwork as well as really trivial painterly or impressionistic work. Elsewhere I meet a much greater make of styles - fifty-fifty past times those relying on photos for references. Maybe to a greater extent than or less coloured pencils artists don't submit such operate on the reason of what they meet inward the exhibition online?
It's skillful to meet to a greater extent than or less show this twelvemonth of the beginnings of novel styles as well as approaches to making fine art amongst coloured pencils. However I meet really trivial modify inward the dependent area matter. At no other national club exercise I meet to a greater extent than than 30% of the artwork inward the exhibition portraying animals. (Can I emphasise at this juncture that I similar skillful wild fauna fine art - nevertheless I also relish landscapes, botanical as well as soundless life). Elsewhere it's typical to really commons to meet landscapes accounting for a meaning proportion of an exhibition - nevertheless at UKCPS for to a greater extent than or less argue this twelvemonth landscapes brand upwards less than 10% of the plant selected.
Also piece the touchstone at the transcend terminate is going upwards I personally experience that to a greater extent than or less of the operate selected falls far brusque of the character I've seen inward previous exhibitions.
My stance for to a greater extent than or less fourth dimension has been that UKCPS volition exclusively 'come of age' when it embraces to a greater extent than styles, to a greater extent than subjects as well as to a greater extent than dissimilar approaches to making fine art amongst coloured pencils. Recent changes are encouraging but to my hear there's soundless quite a considerable agency to go. (Please deport inward hear I meet the annual exhibitions of virtually all the major fine art societies inward the province - as well as bring done for to a greater extent than or less years)
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lot of people won't grip amongst what I've said. Others may unwrap that it needed saying. Now I've got my caput higher upwards the parapet, I'd only unwrap at that topographic point are lots of dissimilar ways of making fine art - equally artists from other fine art societies bring already shown us. I'd only actually similar to meet coloured pencil artists exploring their medium more.

- Kris Owen Best Mates 37x29cmIt took a piece a trivial piece to operate this ane out. I similar artists who don't spell it all out to those viewing - a conundrum draws y'all inward as well as gets y'all involved amongst the work.
