The Onion Farmers House — Maximilian Gosling | Etching | 37.5cm x 30cm
“The etching “The onion farmers’ house” is set in a fictional world where anthropomorphic badgers take the centre stage. The fiction follows a narrative centered around a sentient onion taking control of a badger populated city called Madráyiss. This image captures a section of the story where the main protagonist arrives at the onion farmers’ house and forms a plan to reclaim Madráyiss and overthrow The Onion Monarchy.”
The judge, Rebecca Beardmore, said this about Max’s work:
“The Onion Farmers House is whimsical, otherworldly. The detail in the linework and the textural surfaces is exquisite, from starry skies to mountainous rocks that look like Banksia seed pods. I loved the way this artist plays with scale, the miniature to the gigantic. Beautifully rendered.”
Marta submitted a digital print, titled “Midcentury Modern“, which is part of an ongoing series.
