Congratulations to Jane O'Hara for Inconventient earning Best in Show in Wild Heart Gallery's On the Brink: Endangered Animals exhibtion. The painting focuses on the frought relationship between humans, animals, and the environment without even putting a human figure on the canvas. Through the symbolic use of a tiny stage on a pole and the morphing of the polar bear into an almost teddybear-like configuration, the human gaze is made obvious.

For the On the Brink: Endangered Species juried art exhibition, artists were asked to submit endangered animal artwork. Artwork ranged from realistic to surreal and the majority of the work came packed with conservationist messaging. The virtual exhibition was open to international artist aged 18 and over. 

Artwork for this exhibition was selected by jury based on theme, originality, technique, skill, and quality of work.
