Detour #21, 2012
Oil, enamel and acrylic paint on canvas, plastics, acetate, plexiglass, adhesive tape | 175x170 cm
'The interplay of absence, presence, focus and distorted images, exterior and interior, surface and structure points to the notion of concealing and then revealing what is already open to view.'

the beauty of a human spirit, while the latter is both the price and the
reward.'

Richard Ansett is the
winner of the Photography section for the interesting iconographical
composition, rich in symbolical references and for the skillful use of

12Ga. shotgun, salvaged industrial scrap | 120x250x25 cm

Motivation:
The Jury has awarded the Sculpture Prize to Costantine Zlatev because he tackles the current issue of the weapon market in a highly interesting manner and for the fine execution of the work, which features different layers and allows for various interpretations.
