TASART 2018 - Winners and Judges Comments
40th TASART Exhibition 2018 Burnie City Council Award
No.1 Josh Foley Ammonia Sunlight
Judges Comments
This painting is full of action with an energetic layered surface. There is a sense of nature coming through with gritty acidic colours suggesting swirling liquid. There is an almost cynical view of nature’s interaction with human influences. This is a worthy addition for the collection with a sophisticated understanding of style and technique.
