Anton Dk entered The Luxembourg Art Prize Competition

20151221-190736-bpglgdbzd

The Luxembourg Art Prize is an annual international competition aiming to discover talents, amateur or professional, regardless of age and nationality. The Prize aims to accelerate the careers of unknown artists by providing them with professional art gallery space, first as part of a group exhibition showcasing the nominees for the Prize and then as a solo exhibition for the winner.

To help the winner prepare and create a solo exhibition at the gallery, a grant of 25,000 euros (about 27,680 USD or 20,850 GBP or 27’273 CHF or 36,130 CAD or 2,895,500 JPY) is awarded by the gallery for the 2016 edition of the prize.

All the artists’ expenses are paid by the gallery during the 2016 Luxembourg Art Prize exhibition (transport and insurance for the works of art, air and train tickets and full-board accommodation in a four-star hotel).

Ten artists will be selected by 31 July at the latest by an artistic committee chaired by Hervé Lancelin. The nominees will exhibit their work as a group at Galerie Hervé Lancelin from 17 September to 29 October 2016.

The winner of the 2016 Luxembourg Art Prize is selected by the final jury, and his or her name is announced on the opening evening of the nominees’ group exhibition. An award of 25,000 euros is allocated to the winner to help finance the production of further work.

The winner of the 2016 Luxembourg Art Prize will be given a solo exhibition in 2017 at Galerie Hervé Lancelin in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

About Sas Kloppers

I mounted my first exhibition in 1990 in Swakopmund, Namibia, on invitation of the Die Muschel Gallery, exhibiting a series of works inspired by the rock art of the Brandberg. Since 1990 I have exhibited widely in South Africa and Africa. Africa’s colour, rhythm, lore and rituals serve as inspiration for my work. I interpret all in my own style, medium and technique, subtly incorporating earthly materials when called for by the theme.

“. . . images not out of step with a culturally re-awaking continent; of Africa’s striving to empower herself through the invocation of her myth and mythology; bring to the fore what is often missing in contemporary African art, the spirituality that underlies African cosmology and trans-symbolism.”
