NOT the Turner Prize









"Under the Pier I" was entered for the 2003 'NOT the Turner Prize' competition. The competition was a reaction against the Turner Prize which rewards often conceptual and rather controversial works. NOT the Turner Prize offered the same prize money - £20, 000 (at the time) for a realistic painting.

My painting was one of 400 out of over 10, 000 entries to be exhibited at the Mall Galleries in London. Judges included Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones. In the end "Under the Pier" recieved an award of 'highly commended' as one of the top 25 paintings.
