Threadneedle Prize
Edit
One affair close the Threadneedle Prize 2013 Exhibition prompts a enquiry which won't hold upwardly answered past times this post service - but does demand to hold upwardly addressed past times others.
If a major fine art competition, based on totally anonymous entries - all the way through to the terminate - tin make then many women artists equally winners, what on globe is going on inwards some of the other major juried fine art competitions?
(Note: Up until this twelvemonth 4 of the outset v winners of the Threadneedle Prize were women together with this twelvemonth nosotros in 1 trial again own got ii woman someone winners)
It makes yous think. It also makes me think perhaps I'll compaction some numbers together with practise some comparisons..........
Anyway dorsum to my review of the Threadneedle Exhibition 2013. Here's my views close the exhibition interspersed past times some images of parts of the exhibition. Finally I'm hazarding a guess at some of the entries which volition hold upwardly shortlisting themselves for the Public Choice Award - valued at £10,000. The world larn to vote for this - but alone if they see the exhibition!
ORIGINALITY: It's got fewer "knock-out" pieces which yous retrieve for years afterwards. However, it's also got fewer "what were the judges thinking?" pieces - although at that topographic point are some.
So overall character has improved but to a greater extent than originality together with genuine conception simply about how to create figurative fine art even then required. There's even then range to own got an affect adjacent year!
I own got absolutely no uncertainty inwards my ain heed that too beingness a fine slice of art Clare McCormack's screenprint together with woodcut on scaffolding planks Dead Labour / Dead Labourer (185cm x 100cm) got pulled out of the melee of c. 3,700 entries early because of its originality. It's already been sold to an fine art collector.
AUDIENCE APPEAL: This is an exhibition which gets a lot of visitors together with it's also an exhibition which artists brand a indicate of visiting - to depository fiscal establishment represent out what everybody else is upwardly to and/or to honour out why their entry wasn't selected! My photos together with the images on the website give some sense of what the artwork selected for the concluding is similar - but yous can't trounce truly visiting to estimate the affect "in the flesh" equally it were.
One of the things I similar to practise when visiting an exhibition is picket to encounter which pieces people linger over.
There were an awful lot of people lingering over Clare's winning artwork yesterday. I wouldn't hold upwardly inwards the to the lowest degree surprised if she also wins the £10,000 Public Choice Award equally well. It's accessible, it has meaning, it's good executed together with it's different. (Plus the hanging squad did a fine project inwards suspending the planks inwards mid air!). Given that she alone graduated this summer, that should larn her career off to a fine start.
MEDIA FORMAT: I know it's an exhibition that says it's close paradigm together with sculpture but it's truly an exhibition which also allows entries which include original prints, drawings together with mixed media installations.
However at that topographic point are precious few drawings together with fine fine art prints inwards the exhibition. It's possible that this laid of judges don't charge per unit of measurement drawing or printmaking that much. However I think it's far to a greater extent than probable that non plenty skillful character fine fine art (handmade) prints together with drawings were submitted equally entries. Those prints that were included were excellent.
Maybe worth placing to a greater extent than emphasis on the make of media formats allowed together with less on the paradigm together with sculpture adjacent year?
ART MEDIA: There's a rattling broad make of media together with size of artwork - although almost all the paintings were painted inwards stone oil on canvass or board.
I own got to remark upon the fact it's absolutely amazing what people brand fine art amongst when non express to traditional materials.
In this exhibition the next are examples of media inwards role inwards artworks inwards the exhibition: embroidery, scaffolding planks, stormy weather condition blankets together with wood, grooming shoes, wild rose thorns; vino corks, together with wool on canvas.
Other contest organisers mightiness similar to ponder on the wisdom of beingness overly prescriptive close media.
JUDGES CHOICE: Each selector could also invite an creative someone of their selection to exhibit a work. Let's tell they were "different"! I liked the industrial plant past times artists invited past times Laura Gasgoigne together with Barnaby Wright the best.
To hold upwardly honest I think I'd rather encounter some other 4 industrial plant past times people who own got taken the problem to larn into - especially since 1 of the judge's invited industrial plant occupied the whole of 1 of the pocket-sized northward galleries.
I think I'd rather encounter which were the maverick choices - the entry each jurist continued to sponsor despite the others non beingness quite then persuaded.
The exhibition is at the Mall Galleries until 12 Oct together with is good worth a visit. The galleries are opened upwardly 10am to 5pm every twenty-four hours - together with entrance is free.

Observations on the exhibition - inwards no especial order
I think this is the best demo then far.ORIGINALITY: It's got fewer "knock-out" pieces which yous retrieve for years afterwards. However, it's also got fewer "what were the judges thinking?" pieces - although at that topographic point are some.
So overall character has improved but to a greater extent than originality together with genuine conception simply about how to create figurative fine art even then required. There's even then range to own got an affect adjacent year!

| Plot I / Anglo Persian (£13,000) past times Ghazaleh Avarsamani |

| Just a tiny department of the travel by Ghazaleh Avarsamani (the leaves are all embroidered) |
The Public Choice Award
Here's what I think volition hold upwardly the contenders for the Public Choice accolade - assuming it's a mix of artists, contemporary fine art fans, trad. fine art fans together with the full general public!- Plot I / Anglo Persian (£13,000) past times Ghazaleh Avarsamani - it's embroidery together with patchwork on a quilt together with it's huge together with it's amazing! See higher upwardly together with right. There's an awful lot of travel inwards this together with yous tin hold looking for ages together with even then hold finding novel images inside it
- Plague Season past times Nicola Bealing (see my previous post) is some other 1 where people stand upwardly together with gaze. For me it has 1 human foot inwards the military camp of contemporary fine art together with 1 human foot inwards to a greater extent than traditional fine art together with could pick upwardly votes from both. Great to encounter there's to a greater extent than of that ilk inwards her portfolio together with that it's non simply a 1 off.
- Aung Sang Suu Kyi by Conrad Englehardt - it's a human face upwardly of a famous someone made out of vino stained corks. I'm non sure if it's fine art but it's sure dissimilar together with outflow to appeal to some - but non me. Judging past times his website he plainly also industrial plant difficult at his marketing. I really dislike the residue of his artwork - it's simply cork p*rn. Which agency I promise he doesn't win - despite the marketing.
- Home thoughts from abroad past times Hugo Grenville (Hugo Grenville) - encounter below - suggests to me John Ward does Bonnard together with Vuillard! (I don't know if anybody agrees?) Which truly agency I similar it a lot. I similar designing together with am especially envious of people who tin pose lots of patterns together with colours together together with they simply expect right! Obviously when you're an creative someone yous tin pose together anything yous like! There's some groovy paintings together with details of his workshops on his website - addition links to articles he's written (e.g. A Theory of Colour 2) - addition interesting photos of his studio on his blog

| Home thoughts from abroad (sold) by Hugo Grenville stone oil together with golden foliage on canvas, 107 x 152cm |
- X-Ray past times Donna McLean. I liked both her industrial plant which were selected but this rattling large paradigm of the caput of a daughter grabbed my oculus equally shortly equally I saw it.
 |
| The entrance to the Threadneedle Space X-Ray past times Donna McLean is on the left I bet that Canis familiaris - on the correct - gets a lot of votes! |
- Sicilian Man by James Neubert. This is simply then strange - it demands that yous halt together with stare at a caput made of rose thorns. Very memorable.
 |
| Sicilian Man (6,000) by James Neubert Handpicked wild rose thorns on dark mask, 23 x 17 x 10cm |
- Summer Trees past times Bob Rudd is 1 for those who similar their watercolour rather brushy together with a piddling on the wild side! I'm a large fan of Bob Rudd paintings together with I'd hold upwardly surprised but rattling pleased if this 1 won the People's Choice Award. I'd similar to encounter to a greater extent than watercolours inwards the contest adjacent year. It is a serious fine art medium together with deserves to hold upwardly seen to a greater extent than - if the character of the travel warrants it.
 |
| Summer Trees (£4,000) past times Bob Rudd Watercolour, 79 x 115cm it of course of report does non consummate amongst reflections of people! |
- Malkovich past times Stuart Wiggins - This is almost unsettling together with absolutely riveting at 1 together with the same time. Maybe beingness larger than life size does non help. I own got a feeling this mightiness hold upwardly a rigid contender for the People's Choice Award.

| Malkovich past times Stuart Wiggins Mixed media 52 x xl x 27cm |
