Congratulations, Ashleigh!

"The work I've selected demonstrates exceptional technical skill in its delicate tonal gradation, evidence of a committed practice. The intricate rendering highlights the complexity and beauty of natural forms, and a sensitive use of light and shadow enhances three-dimensionality and realism." - Eric Nash, judge (Benalla Art Gallery, Director)

Thirty x Thirty 2026 Winsec Acquisitive Award Winner
'The Country Town' by Matt Kinsey - oil on canvas
Sponsored by

Congratulations, Matt!

"The Winsec Acquisitive Award for 2026 goes to a work I've selected that uses a refined, warm, autumnal palette to beautifully capture atmosphere and seasonal light. The layered landscape composition creates depth and a sense of place and is visually sophisticated, allowing the viewer to feel within the landscape itself, perhaps on a nearby balcony looking across the scene. Architectural elements are integrated seamlessly within the natural setting." - Eric Nash, judge (Benalla Art Gallery, Director)

Thirty x Thirty 2026 GRAND PRIZE WINNER
'Anguish' by Jennifer Paull - oil on canvas
Sponsored by Wangaratta Cardiology and Respiratory Centre, Pizzini Wines & Wangaratta Picture Framers.

Congratulations, Jennifer!

"The Grand Prize this year goes to a work that has an immediate emotional impact. The muted colour palette of the background picking up the bluish-grey undertones of the human flesh are evident of a highly skilled painter. The treatment of the form itself; the work closely cropped to the expressive power of the face and hands, pulling against the skin. This is a work that speaks to the viewer with a quiet intensity, much like the psychological landscape it is capturing" - Eric Nash, judge (Benalla Art Gallery, Director)
