Jane Kellahan’s “White Wickets” wins

the inaugural Cricket Art Prize.

Winning artist Jane Kellahan said “Combining both sport and art, has been a challenge and extremely satisfying for me. My inspiration stems from memories of summertime cricket at the park and watching the national team” she added.

Her work “White Wickets” – oil on canvas, portrays dreamlike figures playing a surreal version of night cricket in merging tinged colours of red, orange and navy-blues with an interesting texture and finish.

The Highly Commended award went to Adam Hill’s “Unfair Dismissal”.

The Cricket Art Prize offers AU$20,000 to the winning painting, $2000 to the Highly Commended and $1000 to the Peoples’ Choice award with national exposure for exhibiting artists.

The Peoples’ Choice voting has now closed
Announcement will be made tonight at the opening of the exhibition at the Bradman Museum in Bowral
