In 2014 Laura was shortlisted for the Threadneedle Prize (see Shortlist for Threadneedle Prize 2011 dominated by women artists) and selected for the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy. In 2015 she was also selected for the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize 2015.
I'm wondering is she still paints on aluminium. Her works are relatively sparse - this is a busy picture compared to her normal putput.

Chris Thomas b.1947 in Bradford. Chris was also selected for the Northern New Light Prize in 2015. He's represented by the Brian Sinfield Gallery and the Padstow Studio.
His CV would seem to indicate that this is not an artist who has regularly submitted work and been selected for art competitions.
He has two works in the exhibition: Reflection Study 1 and Sheep with their Lambs (below).

Could you please include dimensions, and preferably type of paint, support etc if possible? Without dimensions it is hard to imagine how works really look. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to - it's a point I make often when writing about art competitions.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately that information is not available on the Threadneedle Prize website. I can sometimes find it on the artist's website but I've had no lock so far.
