Stag Party Wins 2012 Whanganui National Best in Show
A small framed mezzotint wins the Best in Show Award at the 2012 Whanganui National Art Exhibition. By Esmee McAuley of Whanganui, the playful work grabbed the attention of the judges with its velvet blacks, the standard text of skulls and mortality, and an addition of a tiara. As the title of the work implies, Stag Party is one for the boys that conveys the drunken hungover morning haze of tiaras, strip clubs, and a mysterious woman's panties in the jacket pocket. How do I explain this to the missus? Dead man walking!
Congratulations to prize winners of the 2012 Whanganui National Art Awards
