CCA Galleries International, 10th July
The CCA Summer Exhibition came full circle with its much-anticipated awards evening, as artists, judges and guests gathered once again to celebrate the standout works of this year’s show. The evening buzzed with anticipation as prizes were awarded across a range of categories, recognising the depth and diversity of talent on display. Rural Magazine honoured the strongest depiction of Jersey’s agricultural landscape, while Gallery Magazine presented its prize for graphics and illustration. New to this year’s event, Madhatter introduced a special award for the most compelling piece inspired by the sea – a nod to the island’s coastal beauty.
The evening belonged to Alice Leng, whose two striking oil portraits, Il Viandante and La Camicia Bianca, earned her both the Emerging Artist Award and the inaugural Visitor’s Choice prize, having received the highest number of public votes. With a solo exhibition now on the horizon, the awards evening marked an exciting milestone in what promises to be a remarkable career.
