Social media channels have been having a field day this week over the awarding of a prize to Colorado (USA) based gamer and emerging artist, Jason Allen – who has won first prize in the Colorado State Fair Fine Arts Competition with his work Théâtre D’opéra Spatial (French for Space Opera Theatre).
The winning work is an epic – almost allegorical scene – in which a group of figures in period costume look through a circular window onto a distant landscape.
