When I won that art prize (part 2)- James Drinkwater

In part 2 of the series ‘When I won that art prize’ we go back to episode 29 when James Drinkwater recalled winning the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship in 2014.  

The award included a three month residency in Paris at the Cité Internationale des arts, a dream come true for any young painter. However, when he and his young family set off for France, not everything went according to plan.

Upcoming show

• Solo show at Edwina Corlette, ‘You could just make a painting and write it all in there – new paintings from the slip room’, 3 – 23 May, 2023
