$20,000 award to painter
A Christchurch painter, Grant Banbury, has won the $20,000 Olivia Spen-cer-Bower Foundation Award for 1988. The award, funded by the late Olivia SpenerBower, was established to allow a painter or sculptor to work full-time for a year.
Mr Banbury graduated from the Canterbury School of Fine Arts with an honours painting diploma in 1979. Since then he has held 13 one-man
exhibitions and participated in several group shows.
He plans to use the award to consolidate present ideas in his painting and develop new directions on a larger scale. He is an exhibitions officer at the C.S.A. Gallery where he has worked part-time for seven years. The first award was made last year to a Christchurch sculptor, Pauline Rhodes.
