The singular verb "is" in the non underlined portion implies that we are talking about a single artist. Since we need to select a single artist out of the many artist we need to use- one of whom.

Can someone provide a detailed explanation. Thanks!

Hi fozzzy.

The main idea of this question is:
Artists at the workshop will demonstrate innovative painting techniques that allow painters to create three-dimensional painting
The part: "one who is an award winner" is just modifier of Artists.

A) one who ==> Clearly wrong because "one who" does not make any sense.

B)one of them who ==> Somebody may think B is correct, but it's wrong. Why? Because "them" means Artists. So if you change "them" to "artists", the sentence will be: Artists at the workshop, one of Artists who is..... ==> Clearly wrong, because "who" modifies the preceding noun - Artists - that is plural. The usage "is" is wrong.

C)and one of them who ==> Double wrong. (1) "and" does not make sense, cause there's no parallel structure here; (2) same reason as B.

D)one of whom ==> Correct. we use "who" for objective, and "who" for subject.

E)one of which ==> "which" is wrong.

Hope it helps.

Regards.
