Bank Art Awards
The winners of first prizes in the water-colour and mural sections of the National Bank art contest are on display at the Canterbury Society of Arts building. The mural entries this year dealt with Captain Cook’s voyage to New Zealand and this section was won by Guy Ngan. Without seeing the complete entries it is only possible to conjecture that nothing inspired was submitted. Ngan’s work will apparently be completed in wood and aluminium. It shows, on a distorted world map, the route followed by Cook. “Wellington Winter Poppies” is the title of Florence M. Luxford’s prize-winning water-colour. It is a painting in which colour and technical competence are unable to compensate for weakly drawn passages in a background chair, a table top and bowl. G.T.M.
