Dobell Drawing prize

I didn’t really feel this one, it left me somewhat cold and disinterested. The winning work was definitely a great drawing. I only took two photos in the whole exhibition. I felt there were good messages in some of the works and great skills on display.
It was just lifeless and detached in a lot of ways. The message though on target are not hopeful which is understandable but then it makes you wonder what are we all doing as a society? That in itself is the point but there needs to be some hope left and what could be imagined scenarios.

It is sad though watching climate change play out. The local beaches are starting to disappear to the tides the past month.

One thought on “Dobell Drawing prize

  1. The Americans were seriously working on weather as a weapon since the end of WWII and we know China had it down to a localized art for centuries. I’d say they’ve made some serious ground over that time. Pffft to “climate change” a fuzzy word both innocuous and undefined. Silent weapons for quiet wars and all that jazz.
