Highly Commended
Composition in blue, green and yellow. – Abstract painting on cradled board.
Judge’s Comment:
As a piece of pure colourist abstract art the artist has used colour as the main raison d’être for this work. One’s imagination is played upon slightly when trying to decide about the man and horse towards the centre of the painting. Is it or isn’t it? Abstract art still has to balance to be successful and the artist has pulled this off well. There’s an old saying in art that ‘tone does all the work but colour gets all the glory’. A painting will work on either platforms. This painting works on the ‘colourist’ platform.
