Commended Entry: Georgia Peskett
Category: Scenes of Everyday Life
‘Facade, Pink and Green’
Oil on silk, over stretcher
51 x 61 x 2.5 cm
Artist’s Statement:
‘Facades are an ongoing theme for my paintings, this is from the Quays at Bristol, Princes Wharf. Man runs with his dog in the evening.’
Jackson’s Judging Panel:
‘The geometric composition and repetitive patterns of this urban facade are syncopated by the energetic figure of the man and dog as they move through the urban environment at pace. Facade, Pink and Green recalls modernist painters such as Richter, Hockney, Hopper and even Mondrian but also feels like a very contemporary painting.’
