Kevin A. Taylor Award (best individual painting) 2010 Christine Cafarella Pearce A.G.R.A.F Vic.
|
The late Kevin A. Taylor was
an esteemed member of AGRA whose talents as an artist, teacher, mentor
and judge were well known
to other artists and art lovers in the representational art world in Victoria.
The year before he died he was the judge of our Awards Exhibition and said
to me after the judging that there should have been a prize for the best
painting as well as an award acknowledging the artist whose combined works
displayed the most consistent competence - often the artist who achieves
the major award doesn't necessarily present what the judge considers is the
most outstanding individual painting of the exhibition.
Kevin died not long before the 2004 exhibition & it was decided to honour
his role at the Guild with the Best Painting Award.

Packing Room Award
Chris Mc Clelland A.G.R.A.F NSW This painting also won the viewer's most popular award.
|
We thank this year's judge, David Chen for his careful consideration in chosing the medal recipient. Winners were chosen from the 'Australian Art Excellence Awards Exhibition 2008'. Each artist for this exhibition was judged on a consistency of talent, skill and professional presentation on a body of three works submitted.
