To clarify the dates for Ransart:
  Saturday 03 February and Sunday 04 eFebruary 2018 near the city of Charleroi, at a few km from the airport, new localtion called "Roselies" like last year.
It will be the 25th anniversary of this competition, and an Hommage to the work of Catherine Cesario will also be organized, like in Rubelles and Sèvres last year.
Pré-registration to the figurines competition is opened until tomorrow 25th of January 24:00  for reduced registration fees and faster access to the cometition tables ...

Title: Ransart 2018 (Belgium)
Post by: Hannibal on February 05, 2018, 06:24:51 AM
Show is over now.

For the flats, 35 artists and 73 pieces were submitted (against 35 & 64 last year)
      Junior: 1 painter - 1 flat
      Novice : 7 painters - 17 flats
      Confirmé: 9 painters - 16 flats
      Master : 18 painters - 38 flats
      Green : 1 artist - 1 green  (artist also painter)
 
*   A double display was presented by Richard Poisson and Delphine Agnello for an Homage to Catherine Césario.  As most works are the same as in Rubelles 2017 and Sèvres 2017, I will post several photographiess of Catherine posted on the wall.
This year, Masters accounted for 50% of the flats registered, less Confirmed, but more novices !! the new generation !  also the Bour couple moved from catégory Confirmed to catégory Master (total of 13 flats), explaining the ratio change.
 
*  Unfortunately microphone was of bad quality and I could not catch the awards , they will be adjusted when published on the site of the organizing club.  Also The Club Les Fêlés told me having no time and priority to send me a list of the painting titles of the competition flats exposed, perhaps only the painters names later ....  So many pictures will bear minimal information unfortunately .. Sorry for this... ( I will try to complete wit data from the next two shows, if submitted also there).
 
*  Lightening for the hall for the Clubs was much better this year, the Hall was really crowdy, space restricted for the competition, and even to short for the vendors and clubs, supporting the success of this middle size show (around 6-700 pieces, perhaps more?). Therefore a good success.  Many Clubs and vendors were present, but flats sales declining.
 
*  A brillant painting demonstration was given by Guy Bibeyran on freehand painting on figures = excellent, enjoyable and will be given in Figurine-TV later on.  Thank you Guy!
 
Please allow a couple of days before posting pictures in the Gallery ..

Slow, Greg, I have pictures of the table showing you have been registered in the Novices !

I was surprised, but this award is consistent in that category. The table was very crowded, so your flat were a bit on the back, and I had a lot of difficulties to take pictures ...  ( Same occurred to my wife too!!); but at least two judges were very professional taking each piece in their hands for judging, so could appreciate your work correctly.

I heard visitors finding your paintings very nice, and surprised by the fast and impressive progresses observed over the past year !!!!  You will move forward very well, and the flats exposed at the MCK club display are very nice !!!  I will post pictures later on BFFS
