Hamilton artist Julian Godfery has won the 2017 IHC Art Awards People’s Choice Award for his work, Invisible Magic.
This is the second year in a row that Julian has won the People’s Choice Award after winning in 2016 for his artwork Tapa.
Invisible Magic was selected as a clear favourite from the 30 finalists in this year’s IHC Art Awards, receiving a total of 194 votes.
Amy Lewis’ self-portrait A Happy Face, came in second with 101 votes, closely followed by Bricharne Hastie’s colourful representational work, Flowers, which received 84 votes.
Invisible Magic is a finely detailed patterned drawing created using pen and ink, which Julian says is a style of drawing that he greatly enjoys.
Julian will be presented with the People’s Choice Award and his prize of $1000 on Wednesday 30 August at the IHC Art Awards gala evening at Shed 6, in Wellington. At the same time, the winners of the top three prizes for the 2017 IHC Art Awards will also be announced and all 30 finalist artworks auctioned, with all proceeds going solely to the artists.
