This is the exclusively sculpture to hold out shortlisted - it's definitely innovative.
Some of y'all may shout upward my weblog ship service nearly the selected artists when I invited artists to ship me images of their artwork which had been selected for the exhibition.

His operate is a total length naked self portrait. You tin meet the "full on" version of Lino Man on his weblog where y'all tin likewise meet some close-ups of Lino man (click the images to meet a larger size image) together with to a greater extent than of his operate - which is likewise real impressive. He's inward some real skillful society - Lucian Freud did a self-portrait Self Portrait - Reflection which had a real similar opinion together with Lucian Freud was likewise an etcher working inward monochrome.
From what I've seen online (I've got a high res version) I truly similar the trouble operate together with his technique for lino cutting - addition I similar the thought together with the echoes of those who receive got gone before.
Details of Ben's operate are beingness used to promote the Exhibition - meet his weblog post Threadneedle Prize - which appears to dot that i calendar week agone he had no thought that he'd been shortlisted.
If you're all the same working inward imperial, the elevation of this linocut is merely curt of xc inches - which agency it's likewise going to hold out large together with impressive.
