Danielle Richard’s “Un jour en octobre” is SCA 1st Award of Excellence winner. Danielle is a passionate artist from Quebec with more than 40 years of artistic career and in a quest for sharing serenity and beauty. Her artwork reflects a moment of silence and peace, inspired by life away from tumult in “a day in October”.
The digital painting “Lullaby” by Don Bergland has won SCA 2nd Award of Excellence. Bergland is an active exhibiting artist for over 50 years and his artwork gives viewers a pause, the understanding misses what it expects and encounters what it can’t comprehend and as Emily Jaeger quoted in WTP, “Bergland’s digital images amuse and disturb; ultimately drawing the viewer into a new realm of possibility and learning”.
The Award of Merit winner is Leily Derakhshani; an artist from Toronto with almost 30-year rich experience in art. Her stylized figurative mixed media painting has a simple expression, free from obscurity and complexity where she shows her past through an artistic form and expressive language.
“Construction Season:Vancouver”; a watercolour painting by Rex Beanland; is another winner of Award of Merit. Rex is a passionate watercolourist from Vancouver that his cityscapes capture the interactions between people and the places they live and tell a compelling visual story.
Cindy Bouwers, a Canadian artist from Alberta has won Duggan SCA Canadian Landscape Award for a painting titled as “Gust and Flurry”. Theme of hope and contentment in her landscape work is an emotive combination of shape and texture that inspires viewers with an expression of a moment of quite reflection.
The prestigious Antoinette Stevens medallion and prize of “Best Painting in Show” is given to Narges Soleimanzadeh for “Delicious Summer”. The winning work expands the artistic experience to the aspects of life that is at the heart of everyday life; a mixed up of irregular elements to express easiness in a summer day.
Alireza Mirzarezaee, another painting artist is selected by the jury for Antoinette Stevens Award for “Best Acrylic in Show”. His work indicates an emotional and mental relationship between two figures in conversation; while it is still in the midst of ambiguity because of the peripheral conditions and the suspended space.
With congratulation to all winners and finalists for exhibition, specially to Biafarin member artists for their accomplishment, we are looking forward to meeting you all in Papermill Gallery on September 07, 07:00-09:00 PM.
