Art Battle is on
Audience must vote for paintings started and completed in 20 minutes.
The third leg of the popular Art Battle Namibia live competitive painting series will take place this evening at the Goethe Institute in the capital.
The first battle of the night starts with a group of learners at 18:00. They are from Windhoek High School, Delta, Cosmos and St. Paul's College.
Twelve adult painters will soon after take each other on.
The winners in both segments move on to the grand finale in November.
The painters have 20 minutes to complete an artwork with acrylic paint on canvas from scratch in front of a live audience, who then vote for the artwork they like the most.
Votes are tallied and the four painters with the most votes in both segments battle it out in the final of the night. The winners in both the high school and adult segments move on to the grand finale, where a trip to participate in Art Battle International is up for grabs.
The winners of the two previous legs are Hage Mukwendja, who won the first event held at FNCC on 16 March, and Kelsey van Schalkwyk who won the second event held in an empty water reservoir at the Eagles Boma Restaurant in Avis on 24 May.
Organiser Jaimee-Lee Diergaardt from Something-Artsy said the stage is set and they are ready to go.
“There is a huge need for the public to see the process of what an artist does. This will hopefully make them gain a greater respect for the effort and time put into this skilled work,” said Diergaardt, who also runs the sought-after Paint and Wine events during which she facilitates painting sessions for novice or more advanced painters.
NEO Paints is the official sponsor of Art Battle Namibia.
The participants in the Adult segment:
Cindel Schoeman
Scharlarco Visagie
Anitta Voland
