The Barbican - Betty Fraser Myerscough - Winner ING Staff Prize (£1,000)

It's interesting that the staff create got chosen a textile every bit ING create got the most amazing textile of leaping salmon past times Polly Hope - which hangs downward through several floors of the key atrium, of their offices at London Wall as well as it's something seen past times all the staff every day.

Betty Fraser Myerscough DA ( Post Dip) is Scottish, studied at Glasgow School of Art as well as has been a lecturer at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, Canterbury College of Art as well as Chelsea School of Art as well as Design. She has every bit good worked every bit a freelance textile creative soul producing wall hangings as well as pictures for exhibitions, both solo as well as grouping since graduation and worked commissions for both world buildings as well as private collectors as well as has been sold to collectors in the UK, Europe as well as USA.

Comments on the plant chosen or invited past times Selectors

It's possible to teach a feel of all the operate chosen past times a specific Selector every bit the ING Discerning Eye website allows y'all to encounter a form of slideshow of the plant which relate to each Selector

So - having non yet got to the Exhibition due to the põrnikas - here's my comments on the Selections

In overall terms, I'd got one-half agency through reviewing the choices of selectors as well as I began to wonder whether a painter who chooses Realism should submit operate this show.  If this year's selection is anything to top I suspect that an awful lot of realist painters in all probability wasted their coin entering the exhibition.  Even the to a greater extent than realistic paintings had a distinct painterly impressionist experience to them.

On the whole having viewed all the paintings online, I'm directly inward ii minds every bit to whether to move as well as encounter the show.  It leans real heavily towards a type of contemporary fine art which holds trivial appeal for me.


ARTISTS


Albert Irvin RA English Abstract Expressionist painter celebrating his 90th birthday this year. He was elected a Royal Academician inward 1998 as well as continues to exhibit regularly.

H5N1 human being who picks paintings as well as prints  in a diverseness of media which are by as well as large abstract or abstracted. Whether or non it's intended to live expressionist I create got non a clue - nonetheless it is for the most component division real colourful.  It's interesting as well as somewhat ironic hence that

  • the operate which has sold the most is Anita Klein's linoprint of a Flying Baby
  • the operate which wins the Discerning Eye Founder’s Prize is a figurative icon of a bull terrier
Chantal Joffe London based figurative creative soul who has exhibited inward grouping as well as solo exhibitions internationally, most late at the Victoria Miro Gallery, London inward 2011. In 2006 she was awarded the prestigious Charles Wollaston Award from the Royal Academy.

This collection had a fair issue of impressionistic/realistic paintings (take a await to encounter what I mean).  There's a stunning gear upwardly of paintings past times Paul Newland.

COLLECTORS

Doris Lockhart influential collector. Created the master copy Saatchi Collection amongst quondam hubby Charles Saatchi. 

The most obvious comment to brand nearly this selection is how few artworks it contains as well as how many of the images played amongst our perception of space. However I yell upwardly I may create got spotted a rival for the Derwent Art Prize!

Gerald Walker CEO, ING Commercial Banking UK, Republic of Ireland as well as Middle East.

Interestingly past times far the most sales create got occurred inward relation to this selection.  I tin yell upwardly of an explanation for that which may live unrelated to the art! ;)  There seemed to live a distinct Scottish season to about of the choices - including the wind, pelting as well as the sea!

CRITICS

Charles Darwent writer as well as fine art critic, The Independent on Sunday. His majority entitled 'Mondrian inward London: How British Art Nearly Went Modern' was published before this year

This is evidently a human being who likes contemporary fine art as well as prints - as well as for the most component division I liked quite a few of the prints he's chosen

Skye Sherwin writer as well as fine art critic, The Guardian.

More figurative plant than most of the other selectors - as well as creative soul who won the top prize of all!
