Teacher Ian Dyke from Weymouth has won the £500 first prize in the fourth Dorchester ARTS Open art exhibition with his striking abstract painting System.
Ian, who teaches at St Nicholas and St Lawrence's Primary School said the work started as a study of field systems in Portugal but then gained a life of its own.
"I'm delighted to have won - especially as I was up against some really good competition," said Ian who received his prize from Dorchester ARTS' strategy director Chris Huxley.
Other winners were Lucas Weschke for his block print Token and Sarah Bunnell for her Giclee print Surfsce Tension. The exhibition, in the gallery at Dorchester ARTS is open every day until June 12, admission free.
