Artworks Exhibition in Blackhorse Lane in E17

I entered the current Artworks Exhibition, part of the  E17 on-going Art Trail in Walthamstow, without success. ( See images below)
 I naturally assumed that my work is below the required standard. However I went to see what is on show, and found the whole experience very dispiriting, and frankly baffling. I could see no evidence of talent, no draughtsmanship, no light or shade, no emotion, no colour , no life,  nothing, nihil.
I tried to convey my bemusement and sense of despair to one of the curators of the exhibition, but I was met with nothing more than a blank look, and some mumbled comments about recently graduated artists.
Remember, this an open exhibition.
Open to whom, you may ask. Not to me, evidently, but of course I may be deluded.
Someone is, no question.
