THE THREADNEEDLE PRIZE

Thu 2 - Sat 18 September 2010, 10am - 5pm

'A triumph...more pleasure and provocation than any Turner show of the past decade.' - Financial Times, 2009

The Threadneedle Prize showcases the best new figurative and representational art in Britain today. Its purpose is to encourage artists with real commitment and vision to submit fresh, powerful and intriguing work created especially for the competition. With over £40,000 to be won, The Threadneedle Prize constitutes one of the largest art prizes in the UK.

This year three selectors will decide the winner of the £25,000 Threadneedle Prize from a shortlist of seven works submitted through the open submission. The prizewinner will be announced on the evening of 15 September and each of the six runners up will receive £1,000.  This year a new prize, the £10,000 Visitors' Choice, will be awarded by the general public.

If the public vote coincides with the selectors’ vote, one artist will win a total of £35,000, making The Threadneedle Prize the most valuable art competition for a single work of art in the UK.

The selectors will curate an exhibition in September at the Mall Galleries, drawing on works submitted through the open competition.

Admission £2.50, concessions £1.50 (free to FBA Friends, Art Fund Members, Westminster Res-card holders and under 16s).

THE POWER AND THE PASSION

Ashley Jackson’s Yorkshire Love Affair
Sun 3 - Sat 9 October 2010, 10am - 5pm

Celebrating his 70th Birthday, Jackson returns to the Mall Galleries.
Acclaimed as being the, ‘Turner of the 21st Century’ his dynamic and brooding landscapes capture the atmospheric skies of the Yorkshire Moorland.
Synonymous with Yorkshire his paintings are transcriptions of Mother Nature’s Love letters revealing the relationship between the man and his moor.
 
He will be unveiling a stunning collection of previously unseen work, for which he has spent his life time chasing the changing light in God’s County, where they may be all season’s in one day, leaving man exposed and open to the elements. No other artist can emulate his technique in such large scale watercolours; there is no camera or trickery just pure skill.  
 
If there is one exhibition not to be missed this year, this is it; it has been over 25years since Jackson had a one man exhibition at the Mall Galleries
 
As an exclusive to the Mall Galleries, Ashley Jackson will be present throughout the exhibition.
Admission free.
