Knysna Fine Art exhibition
Knysna Fine Art is showing off the top 40 works of art chosen from the Sanlam Portrait Award until August 27, and invites art lovers to join them.
Cape Town artist John Pace won the 2015 Sanlam Portrait Award for his portrait entitled, ‘After the Match’. Pace’s winning portrait beat 809 adjudicated entries to the top prize of R100 000. It and 39 other selected entries are showcased in this exhibition.
The Sanlam Portrait Award is sponsored by Sanlam Private Wealth, in partnership with the Rust-en-Vrede Art Gallery in Durbanville.
Stefan Hundt, head of Sanlam’s art advisory service and convener of the judging panel, commended the judges for compiling a splendid selection of artworks. “With the quality of entries received this year it couldn’t have been an easy task to narrow it down to the top 40. We’re thankful for the time and effort they dedicated to determining the winner.”
