Finalist in the 2008 John Leslie Art Prize - Shifting Landscape, Focusing on the Natural World, Gippsland Gallery, Sale with "View from a Speeding Train 5 (Barcelona to Nice)" From the John Leslie Art Prize 2008 catalogue essay 'The Fall into Understanding' written by Briony Nainby:
"Amanda van Gils' View from a Speeding Train 5 (Barcelona to Nice) captures half seen impressions of light and movement, creating ambiguous and otherworldly spaces. Forms dissolve, placing viewers in a position of spatial uncertainty, which, rather than representing the sublime, creates an experience of it."
The John Leslie Art Prize runs from 4th October to 16th November 2008. More details here
