Review: Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize 2012 Exhibition

, , , , , , , , , Edit
I went to run into the 2012 Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize Exhibition yesterday at the Mall Galleries which is on display until Th fifth April.  I really much recommend this equally an exhibition to become together with run into if yous desire to run into proficient figurative fine art currently beingness produced inwards the UK.

Melissa Scott-Miller won a prize for Islington dorsum gardens - Autumn (on right)
If yous can't instruct to the exhibition, yous tin see the 2012 exhibition images online on the Painter-Stainers website.

I'm non going to set all the images inwards the captions - together with I'm afraid that the website doesn't attribute whatever championship or creative mortal to whatever of the images they're displaying either.  However if yous bring a enquiry close whatever allow me know together with I'll nation yous who it's by.

You tin likewise run into the exhibition at W.H. Patterson Gallery betwixt 23-27 Apr 2012

Lynn Painter-Stainers Exhibition inwards the West Gallery of the Mall Galleries
I make wishing the selectors would nation the hangers which paintings bring won prizes - BEFORE the paintings are hung.  Not all the paintings which won prizes were inwards the best of positions together with I can't believe this would bring been the representative if they knew which industrial plant won prizes.

About the exhibition
The Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize 2012 is a contest designed to encourage creative representational ikon together with promote the science of draughtsmanship.
My observations on the exhibition which I scribbled downwards piece inwards the gallery are equally follows:

  • this is an exhibition amongst impact - inwards terms of the type of painting, character of ikon together with colour.  While the exhibit includes run past times members of fine art societies, the exhibit has a dissimilar together with to a greater extent than contemporary flavour. I'd personally similar to inquire the Art Society Presidents together with alternative panels to come upwards together with hold off at what artists who are non fine art club members are ikon these days!
  • most of the paintings are large.  There is a wall of pocket-sized paintings - notwithstanding serious contenders for prizes are typically large.   
Two of the industrial plant I actually liked plus around other impressive one.
I never instruct tired of Patrick Cullen's mixed media landscapes
The Shard from King William Street (pen together with ink) tiptop correct won a prize for Christopher Green
Rachel Ross's spoons won a runner-up prize together with yous tin see to a greater extent than here
  • there is a proficient make of dependent plain matter:
    • urban together with rural landscapes - together with leafy dorsum gardens inwards urban Islington!
    • a goodly proportion of paintings which include figures - paintings of the nude, interior scenes with figures both realistic and allegorical together with outside scenes which include figures
    • the still life is typically different from that seen inwards many fine art club shows
Lots of figures inwards lots of paintings - this is simply a pocket-sized sample
  • the color reproduction inwards the exhibition catalogue is poor - the bluish is really subdued which gives a lot of the images a brownish cast.  I likewise idea it was strange that large paintings were reproduced pocket-sized together with pocket-sized paintings were reproduced large.  It would hold upwards prissy to run into proportions inwards the catalogue broadly follow their actual size - or around dimensions provided side past times side to the image
  • I didn't break until I came to make the photos - but there's an awful lot of black pigment together with depression telephone substitution paintings inwards the show.
  • I saw lots of ruby-red dots!

For artists wishing to submit run side past times side year

Size of paintings: What a slideshow on a website never gives yous is whatever feel of the size of a painting.  I've included around figures inwards the photographs together with then yous tin run into simply how large around of the paintings are.  In addition, yous tin Download the 2012 listing of exhibitors together with film titles - which likewise gives the sizes together with prices of the paintings


Colour together with character of the paintings: Get a re-create of the catalogue to instruct a tape of the type of pictures which instruct selected - notwithstanding yous tin run into the character of both ikon together with color ameliorate on the website.

Better soundless become the exhibition - it's the best agency of assessing the nature of the competition.
