GARDEN GROVE, CA, February 12, 2013 (Press-News.org) The Anniversary II Art Contest & Exhibit was an open theme, and artists from around the world were invited to enter. This exhibit is comprised of many deserving works in a range of mediums and styles.
Best in show was awarded to Steve Wilda for his masterful acrylic painting, which puts a contemporary twist on still life paintings that evoke the Dutch master's and adds the theme of decay.
2nd place went to Tai Taealii, whose fascinating piece is made of a variety of materials (ballpoint pen, spraypaint, stencils and marker inks) and references an equally wide range of themes: surrealism, consumerism, graffiti, art history, and history at large.
Justine Serebrin was awarded 3rd Place for her beautiful and poetic abstraction titled, "When Birds Bloom."
