Digital Exhibition – Springsure Art Awards 2022

Welcome to the CHRC Annual Art Awards – Springsure for 2022 online exhibition.

There are seven categories judged in the art awards: Easel Based Artworks, Works on Paper, Three-dimensional, Photography, Black & White, Juvenile 13-18 years, Junior 12years and under. Prizes include first and second for each category and the prestigious CHRC Acquisitive Prize from the open categories, with a prize pool of over $6000 on offer. People’s Choice Award is this year being voted for online CHRC Annual Art Awards – Springsure 2022 | Have Your Say, Central Highlands. Voting for the people’s choice closes Sunday 20 March 2022 with the winner being announced on 22 March.

The awards were judged by Brisbane based  artist Naomi White (www.naomiwhite.com.au) who loves working with light and the way it changes a vista throughout the day. The different shadows and patterns it makes and the way it can completely change colours from one moment to another depending on the time of day or even the season you see it in. She has a documentative approach but one that looks for an emotional reaction rather than a rational response. She likes to inspire audiences to reconsider their perceptions of the natural environment, from the intricate details that imprint the land, to grand and larger views that command our attention. White hope’s that her works elicit a sense of engagement, connection and wonderment, and allow for viewers to marvel at and sensitively consider the world around us.  White has held numerous solo exhibitions around Australia and shown in various art prizes such as the Wynne, John Leslie Art Prize, Tattersalls Art Prize, Mosman Art Prize, Fleurieu, Calleen, and the Brisbane Portrait Prize.

CHRC would like to congratulate the winners for 2022 and the exhibiting artists, both local and from afar, who have entered the competition creating a wonderful display of artworks. View the full list of winners here.

The exhibition can also be seen in person at the Bauhinia Bicentennial Art Gallery, Springsure until 13 April, 2022.

Catherine Boreham Bedtime Stories Oil on Canvas $600 I remember my Dad telling us bedtime stories when we were younger, not because I have a fantastic memory but mainly because now I realise how much he loves reading to his Grandkids. What a great loving thing to do for his children and the next generation. This is a portrait of my niece ready for bed and sitting up ready for a story or two. I really loved painting this oil on linen.	Catherine Boreham Image Bearer Oil on canvas, $2,000 I am quoting my sisters words about this painting when she saw it. “Hannah is the same age as my son and with the passing time, I have watched her grow. When I saw this portrait of her I had to keep going back to look at it to figure out what had me so charmed. Her beauty was obvious, but there are subtleties in this image that could be easily overlooked. Her pose is exquisite, and her eyes seem to be gazing into my very soul. All of these things make me feel like the girl in this image knows who she is, and she is asking us if we know who we are. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this oil painting.

Elaina Hayes Suffocation Acrylic on canvas NFS This piece is called “Suffocation”. It was created in 2022 and is one of my most recent creations. It was made using only acrylic paint. I used a pallet knife to achieve the background. I’m still not entirely sure what really inspired me to create it but as soon as the brief image popped up in my mind, I knew that I just had to paint it. The scene displayed, is a metaphorical interpretation of feeling entirely vulnerable and incapable of escape, being taken further and further down, losing your hope more and more. A feeling most people can relate to at some point in their lives.	Kiara Follent Rainbow Lorikeet Acrylic on canvas $300 This piece was an exploration of colour and if the viewer will still recognise the main subject if the colour of the main subject and background were flipped.
