6 Artists Reinvented Art Deco and the Judges Couldn t Agree S4 E7

Six artists. One brief: take Art Deco, all that gold, geometry, and 1920s glamour, and make it unmistakably yours. Working on fresh 24×30 canvases with just 12 hours spread across three days, each artist had to bend one of the most rigid, iconic design eras in history around their own voice. What came back couldn't have been more different.

This is a turning point in the season. Half the field has gone home, the leaderboard's been wiped clean, and the judging just got personal. Every artist now has to stand in front of the panel and tell the story behind their piece, not just hang something beautiful on the wall. With world-renowned artist and Square Foot Show president Julia Veenstra setting the challenge and a major exposure prize on the line, the pressure has never been higher.

And then came the twist. When the votes were counted, the guest judge and the judging panel landed on two completely different artists. Watch six unmistakable styles collide with the glamour of Art Deco, and decide for yourself who truly made it their own. Three of them move one step closer to the finale, the $25,000 grand prize, and the title of The Outstanding Artist.
