Guelph, Ont., artist wins $25,000 RBC Canadian Painting Competition
VANCOUVER – Patrick Cruz of Guelph, Ont., has won this year’s RBC Canadian Painting Competition.
He took the $25,000 honour on Wednesday for his work entitled “Time allergy.”
The jury praised his “brave approach, maximalist aesthetic, and wild graphic sensibility.”

Honourable mentions worth $15,000 each went to Hangama Aimiri of Halifax for “Island of Dreams,” and Claire Scherzinger of Toronto for “My Contribution To The Many Paintings Of Pots And Plants.”
