This year's Glover Landscape Art Prize show has been run and won. Over the next couple of days I'll show you a selection of works and the winner. It is held in Evandale's Falls Pavilion, which is not unlike an old shearing shed (as you can see from the rafters here). Here is the pavilion itself:

From the left here we have a work by last year's winner Sebastian Galloway (Tasmania). Galloway paints on copper and this one is called "Space Invader", where he documents the effects of exotic species on the landscape (in this case Foxglove).
Then we have Amanda Johnson's (Victoria) striking "Colonial heat: Infestation Recherche Bay".
Suzanne Roberts (Queensland) created some controversy with her little work "A chilly late afternoon at Bellerive Beach". It is not surprising for artists to use photographs to work from these days (I'll have something to say about the photography influence tomorrow), however given the inability to travel during the pandemic this year, non-Tasmanian artists had no choice. In this case a Tasmanian photogapher's work was used without permission.
The one on the right is by Tasmanian artist Peter Rudd entitled, "Barossa Reserve, Glenorchy", and features a tree and a raven in a suburban setting.
