Judge's Comment about the whole show – Judge's Comment: "The Best in Show has
been chosen from many fine works as one that, of course, displays accomplished
skill in handling the medium as one would expect, yet has a quality that makes
it especially appealing. And that quality is the use of linear perspective that
carries the viewer off into the distance coupled with colour perspective that
uses hue saturation in such a beguiling manner. The hero of the scene is probably
the craggy mountain etched against the sky, but as one becomes absorbed in the
picture the delicate wisp of smoke from the house asks the viewer to rethink
their involvement in the scene. All figurative painting carries a narrative.
With this piece the artist uses multiple messages, sub-plots if you like, that
revolve around each other and involves the viewer in an experience than goes
beyond the first glance and rewards contemplation" |
