Oxmarket Contemporary is excited to welcome the first of our Open Competition Winners Exhibition on 14th February until 25th February 2023.

The exhibition will feature the winners from our Drawing and Illustration and Applied Arts Categories.

Chris Shaw Hughes the winner of our Drawing and Illustration prize, he creates photo realistic drawings that document pivotal moments of history in specific places.

Jane Eastell is one of the joint winners of the Applied Arts prize and works with a variety of clay bodies, either hand building or using a potter’s wheel. Jane experiments with different glazes and decoration techniques.

Peter Arscott also joint winner of the Applied Arts prize uses grogged stoneware, which lends itself to modelling and shaping. Peter makes things by hand, each piece a unique one-off he sees the pot or vase as a form you can play with.

The remaining Open Competition winners will be exhibiting throughout the year.
