AUSTRALIA---A hauntingly beautiful video by Sydney multi-media artist Fabian Astore and an intricate triptych by mixed-media artist Eveline Kotai have been awarded joint first prize by judges of the 61st Blake Art Prize for Religious Art. Awarded since 1951, artworks entered into The Blake Art Prize must address a subject of religious or spiritual integrity. This pre-requisite is one that intentionally invites open responses from artists and poets and, as such, has drawn much discussion and debate over the past 61 years. [link]
