Last calendar week I attended the Private View of the Annual Exhibition of the UK Coloured Pencil Society. This continues at the Menier Gallery on the South Bank until 16th May.
This is an exhibition of operate inward coloured pencils - according to the rules
However, from a personal perspective, at that topographic point are silent really few large landscapes as well as equally good few portraits as well as figurative plant for my liking compared to the huge release of drawings of animals (cats x 5; dogs x 2; birds x 7; cows x 1; wild animals/insects x v = a amount of xx or 25% of the exhibition!). You tin see David Lewry's portrait of a Timber Wolf Where is she Going? which won the Great Art Award for Best Animal on Picasa.
What that agency is that plant which are actually unlike actually stand upward out.
Such equally this one.
This operate by Angela Brittain was ane of the plant I thought most innovative as well as original. If it had slightly ameliorate executed inward terms of purpose of coloured pencil as well as had also been bigger it would receive got actually dominated this exhibition because of its artistic content.
Angela is an interesting illustration of an artist I don't frequently run across inward this exhibition - but would similar to run across to a greater extent than of. She is an experienced professional person creative mortal who produces contemporary narrative paintings - something nosotros run across equally good picayune of inward my opinion. It seems to me that with this operate she was looking for a way to add together coloured pencil to the hit of media she plant with. Her sense surely shows inward terms of the artwork on her website. I promise nosotros tin run across to a greater extent than artists identifying the orbit to purpose coloured pencils inward their operate - as well as adding CP to their media repertoire inward time to come - as well as their operate inward this exhibition!
Here are to a greater extent than or less views of the exhibition.
Now for the abide by winners.
One of the things I'd recommend UKCPS members make is banking concern check out the size of to a greater extent than or less of the prizewinners. It's the illustration inward the exhibition that a release of the prizes receive got gone to larger artworks. It's non solely that creating a larger artwork takes to a greater extent than fourth dimension as well as effort. They also receive got much to a greater extent than ship upon on a room. They receive got a larger quotient of "look at me" if yous like! It plant with judges simply equally much equally it does with buyers!
I'm afraid I can't present yous a photograph of the winner equally the reflections simply killed it. I suggested mayhap it could locomote rehung inward a ameliorate house but I don't know if this happened.
However yous tin run across a really expert icon of it inward the Picasa Gallery hither - Przewalski wild Equus caballus - critically endangered ;(71 x 53cm) past times Pamela Preller (https://www.facebook.com/pamela.preller). Pamela is a South African creative mortal who specialises inward wild life as well as volunteers at Battersea Dogs Home. A percent of her profits ever goes to the conservation of the exceptional species she is working on. She priced her operate at £1,750.
She's also got a really expert runway tape across a hit of societies as well as exhibitions - which is something I invariably discovery points to success equally an artist. I've previously noted her operate inward my Review: 2012 Exhibition of the Royal Society of Marine Artists.
I loved the way Dan Des Eynon chose to display his drawing of Cicadicae sp. I've never seen anyhting similar it earlier as well as the drinking glass sandwich ideally suited his subject. It's a really good executed drawing as well as given the method adopted for its display I could good imagine this slice beingness hung inward whatever release of contemporary fine art galleries inward London.
Dan has a BA (Hons) Illustration - First Class Honours (Falmouth University) 2014 (which incidentally has a corking reputation for its illustration course) and is currently a freelance Artist as well as Illustrator living inward South Wales. He knew all close my weblog inward relation to the BP Portrait Award which he had also entered. He's surely working difficult at getting his operate exhibited equally his Facebook shows - see Sketching 365) won the R.K. Burt Paper Award. (This drawing is incidentally incorrectly attributed equally to the prize it won on the website)
Alan does to a greater extent than or less intriguing silent life drawings but his birds nest was ane of his to a greater extent than conventional ones as well as married this with his involvement inward drawing birds.
There were a release of interesting plant which appeared to locomote inward the 'abstract' department of this opened upward exhibition. The operate that won the category was drawn past times Julie Ashton (a novel member) as well as mightiness to a greater extent than accurately locomote described equally fantasy rather than abstract.
I counted eleven landscapes as well as 12 streetscenes/buildings. There seemed to locomote a really distinct preference for choosing overly complicated as well as really detailed buildings as well as streetscenes. I sometimes wonder if people confuse an powerfulness to tackle exceptional with an powerfulness to locomote artistic. I am all the same muttering equally somebody who prefers her landscapes to locomote a tad to a greater extent than painterly
Judith Heilbronn Crown won the but inward my thought she should receive got got her recognition for a drawing which wasn't fifty-fifty inward the landscape category!
This is the artwork which won
This is the artwork which should receive got had to a greater extent than or less form of recognition for the attempt involved inward producing an anamorphic drawing.
Exhibition:
This is an exhibition of operate inward coloured pencils - according to the rules
The operate must locomote master (concept, pattern as well as execution past times the artist), at to the lowest degree 50% coloured pencil, demonstrate compositional as well as drawing skills, as well as powerfulness to purpose coloured pencil. Entries must non receive got been shown inward a previous UKCPS exhibition.As a coloured pencil artist, the Earth has surely moved on since I get-go started inward coloured pencils. I haven't seen a UKCPS exhibition inward mortal for a spell - as well as instantly solely run across it when it comes to London. It was surely expert to run across the exhibition filling the the world flooring gallery of the Menier Gallery. It's as well as thence much bigger than the really get-go exhibition I visited at Patchings as well as progress has been made inward terms of it growing inward stature equally good equally size!
However, from a personal perspective, at that topographic point are silent really few large landscapes as well as equally good few portraits as well as figurative plant for my liking compared to the huge release of drawings of animals (cats x 5; dogs x 2; birds x 7; cows x 1; wild animals/insects x v = a amount of xx or 25% of the exhibition!).
