We know that the internet is awash with retrospectives over the holiday period, but we couldn’t resist sharing this compilation of our competition winners from the last year. We’ve seen all sorts of approaches across all of the major media, from bold reduction linocuts to painstakingly detailed landscapes in acrylics. These paintings, linocuts and drawings are the pick of the thousands of entries we have received over the last 8 months since the Jackson’s Open Art Prize 2016. It’s worthwhile following the links above each entry, as some of our runners up were also very accomplished. Congratulations to the winners, thanks to all of the entrants, and happy holidays!
