ABN. 81 459 592 277 The Patrons of the Combined Art Societies of Sydney are Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC, Governor of New South Wales and Mr Dennis Wilson.
One Community, Fourteen Groups & Societies
The Combined Art Societies of Sydney or CASS is run by a small group of volunteers who are dedicated and enthusiastic Art Society members. Their aim is to unite and strengthen the standing of art societies in our community, to gain greater recognition for art societies, and to encourage a standard of excellence among individual artists within our societies. More information about CASS can be found at www.combinedartsocieties.com In 2021, for the first time, CASS presented the Art of Sydney Awards Exhibition online at www.artofsydneyexhibition.com. We appreciate the assistance provided by Karin Bowler at ozartfinder, our CASS committee and our artists participating in this new mode for the Art of Sydney. Our thanks also to our sponsors The Art Scene, Delaney Kelly Golding, Mary Kelly, Derivan Pty Ltd and the Combined Art Societies of Sydney.
The Art of Sydney Awards Exhibition supports CareFlight Australia CASS were honoured to have well-known artist Mr John Haycraft as our judge for 2021, who said, of the exhibition:
“The standard of work presented for judging in the Art of Sydney Exhibition 2021 was outstanding. Particularly in the crowded Section 1 where there were more candidates worthy of prizes than there were prizes to give. Inevitably, in such cases, when the quality has bubbled to the surface, the judge is faced with choices so numerous that to single a few out seems unfair to those works that stand equally alongside each other in manner, matter and execution. At last resort then, when the judge has applied all the criteria that one brings to judgement and the field is still not separated, the hapless individual digs into their emotions and responds accordingly.”

THE 2021 ART OF SYDNEY AWARDS EXHIBITION CATALOGUE
BEST IN SHOW
The ART SCENE AWARD to
JOHN WILSON
Moody Morning Capertee Valley
“The Best in Show has been chosen from many fine works as one that, of course, displays accomplished skill in handling the medium as one would expect, yet has a quality that makes it especially appealing. And that quality is the use of linear perspective that carries the viewer off into the distance coupled with colour perspective that uses hue saturation in such a beguiling manner. The hero of the scene is probably the craggy mountain etched against the sky, but as one becomes absorbed in the picture the delicate wisp of smoke from the house asks the viewer to rethink their involvement in the scene. All figurative painting carries a narrative. With this piece the artist uses multiple messages, sub-plots if you like, that revolve around each other and involves the viewer in an experience than goes beyond the first glance and rewards contemplation”.
The Art Scene is one of Australia’s largest suppliers of art materials and custom frames and still offers old fashioned service and advice. https://www.artscene.com.au/about/

SECTION 1 – Oil or Acrylic painted as Oil
WINNER
DELANEY KELLY GOLDING AWARD Oil Painting or Acrylic painted as Oil
DAVID EL-MELKY
Yearning for Youth
“An accomplished piece in the chiaroscuro style with a nod to Caravaggio. Photo-
realist work can be highly skillful and admirable but lack the spontaneity we admire in more loosely handled painting. Then, now and again, a painting comes along that shows bravura painting that absorbs the viewer in the skill of the artist, the
manner of the brushwork as well as the emotion in the subject. This is one of them.”

Second Prize DELANEY KELLY GOLDING AWARD
Oil Painting or Acrylic painted as Oil
The Diggings, Lightning Ridge
DAVID LAKE
A painting that breaks the rules of composition with
contempt yet invites our contemplation of the subject using rhythm and hue changes with masterly arrangement. The saturated sky colour is bold, nearly sweet, but is offset by
the powerfully painted grey mid-values in the foreground. A great example of a painter who knows how to change the
rules and has the skill to pull it off.
Third Prize DELANEY KELLY GOLDING AWARD
Oil Painting or Acrylic painted as Oil
Self
XAVIER GHAZI
Self-evident bravura painting, with clever use of monochrome and value changes to turn an assured, competent portrait into
an arresting work of art.

Second Prize COMBINED ART SOCIETIES OF
SYDNEY AWARD Water Medium Painting
Magnolia Blossom
DEE JACKSON
This is an example of bravura watercolour painting where the artist lives on the edge of disaster. A moment’s inattention to the
caprice of the medium can mean the difference between success and failure.
Working wet-in-wet the watercolour painter has to allow the medium to find its own way yet have the skill to add to it or leave it when required. Boldly, and well
achieved here.
Third Prize COMBINED ART SOCIETIES OF SYDNEY AWARD

SUSHEELA GIRI
An astute use of the medium where overpainting is invited but
resisted here with fresh, clean, bold painting over a sound grasp of anatomical perspective.

Contemplation
“A very skillful combination of strong figure drawing, an interesting pose, and sensitive rendering. The choice of background and colour harmonies gives the
picture of an ordinary domestic scene a poignancy that is delicate yet assured in its execution. The modeling of the light on the figure and the flesh tones are stuff of the
École des beaux-arts.”

Basil
JEANETTE STARR
The sheer skill of the artist here has lifted what could be a sentimental study of a sweet animal
into a powerful, bold statement full of action and seemingly catching the subject in a fleeting
moment. The artist shows a complete confidence in the drafting and rendering of the hair and
character. And has gone beyond that to imbue the picture with a personal drawing style that is
outstanding.

Composition in Green
“This work boldly tackles the Green dilemma. Although the longest band in the colour spectrum
Green is often avoided by artists wary of its power and effect on surrounding hues. Here it is used assuredly by a masterful painter, cleverly mixing it with complements and analogous

Abstract Painting
Revelation
KURT KOEPPL
A clever use of the medium and letting ‘watercolour be watercolour’. Whilst there is a sense of the accidental
here, it could equally be interpreted as controlled spontaneity. The result is an unfolding of inner light as
darker edges are peeled back to reveal something subliminal.
Third Prize DELANEY KELLY GOLDING AWARD
Abstract Painting
City Portal
HEATHER MACORISON
Abstraction is sometimes only understood by the artist. Its appeal then, has to be in the shapes, colour, and direction of the line. This one has
power and angularity that suggests an opening. The clue is in its name. Its interpretation is up to
the viewer.

SECTION 5 – 9” x 5” Painting The 9 x 5 category is a tribute to a single exhibition held in Melbourne in 1889, which included the work of key Australian impressionist artists such as Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton, Frederick McCubbin and Charles Conder. The artworks were painted on cigar box lids and the title of the exhibition was derived from the dimensions of those works (nine inches by five inches).

DAVID LAKE
Evening Pastoral
“An appealing colour scheme, added to an unusual composition and shape gives this piece a
quality that is evocative. This is an atmosphere that is more easily achieved in larger works where the artist has more room to move. The fact that it has been captured here with such minimal
treatment is a testament to the quality of the painter.”

A clever use of the medium and the oft spoken phrase in

suggests an intimacy between the sitter and the painter that is very appealing.
