We are pleased to announce our studio holder Phoebe Hardwick has had her painting accepted to the Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum Open Competition, the exhibition is on from now until 8th January 2023.

“Last seen in 2019, the Open has been a regular and popular feature of Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum’s (LSAG&M) programme since the 1930s. Open 2022 is sure to be an eclectic mix of artistic forms, with previous Opens featuring, amongst others, sculpture, photography, installation pieces, computer generated imagery and textiles.” Phoebe primarily works with oil paints.

Our studio holder Denise Startin was shortlisted for the Boodle Hatfield Printmaking Prize 2022. Each year the specialist Art Law & More team choose their 10 favourite artworks from Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, as a shortlist for the prestigious prize.

The pieces are then exhibited at the Boodle Hatfield offices for a wonderful evening next year celebrating the very best of printmaking, where the winner is announced.

The winner of the prestigious prize receives a 2023 solo showcase at the following year’s event, and their artwork is purchased for the Boodle Hatfield collection in Central London.

Our studio holder Jodie Wingham has had a terrific year at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair. Jodie’s works were selected by three of the curators including Gita Joshi, an independent curator and award-winning art dealer and the host of The Curator’s Salon – a podcast and website focussing on the art world with advice for early and mid-career artists, as well as celebrated British Artist Gavin Turk and Jack Bullen, co founder of Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair.

Jodie’s print featured above also won the Curator’s Salon Award 2022.

Our studio holder Jodie Wingham recently exhibited at StART Art Fair at the Saatchi Gallery in London and was one of 50 artists shortlisted for the Martin Miller’s Gin Prize. “Jodie presented Unbuttoned, 2017, a screen print on aluminium with stainless steel frame depicting the torso of a man in a suit with a shirt button undone. Wingham toys with the temptation of the viewer to look at the small section of exposed skin, subtly commenting on the voyeuristic tendencies and the need to be discreet in staring at those around us in public settings.”
