National Drawing Award ARTSPACE and The Physics Room are pleased to announce that the winner of the National Drawing Award is Auckland artist, Andrew McLeod. Andrew McLeod’s drawing titled ‘Art School Dream’ was selected as the winner from 546 entries by Judges Tobias Berger (Director, ARTSPACE), Emma Bugden (Curator City Gallery, Wellington), and Danae Mossman (Director, The Physics Room). The Judges found McLeod’s drawing to be “uniquely yet skilfully drawn”, “referencing theory as well as personal experience”, “funny and conceptual” and “quoting and satirising so fantastically a montage of theories - French, Drawing, Photographic, Sculptural, Intermedia and ‘Jokes for Assholes’” - standard art school fare. Not only does this drawing use the medium of drawing with skill and distinction, it also talks about the business of art making. Merit Award winners
