Genevieve Kemarr Loy receives commendation in art prize
Lauraine Diggins Fine Art is pleased to announce that Genevieve Kemarr Loy has been commended in the 2011 Tattersall’s Landscape Art Prize in Brisbane. Genevieve received the commendation for her work, Akwerlkerrmwerlker.
In Akwerlkerrmwerlkerr, Genevieve depicts the green plant that grows like a lawn alongside the road. It has white flowers on top and the bush turkey likes to eat the seeds.
Genevieve’s paintings are characterised by a beautiful and careful handling of paint, a harmonious sense of colour and great control of the delicate spidery marks that make their way across her canvas.
You can view the exhibition on the Tattersalls Club website.
