2017 - 141st Annual Exhibition

Judge – Anna Reid,
Dunedin artist.

First Place

Francis (Peter) Nicholls, In Silence Under Oxides.
Oil on board.
A fully resolved, confidently executed oil painting. Small in size but rich in colour. Expressive use of impasto paint with directional open strokes creating textural unity through out the work.

In Silence Under Oxides by Francis Nicholls.

Second Place

Phillip Markham, Doubtful.
Watercolour on paper.
An impressive watercolour, depicting a very recognisable Doubtful Sound. Great use of scale and repetition in the bush clad mountains. Brilliant contrast of light and dark capturing the tranquillity of Fiordland.

Doubtful by Phillip Markham

Third Place

Jo Loughnan, Blue Shirt.
Mixed media on Paper.
A very gestural figure study created with loose spontaneous application of indian ink and paint. Confident mark making which shows the experience of the artist.
