Michael Chance Solo Exhibition in Salford

Michael Chance is exhibiting new paintings and drawings documenting the inner life and surroundings of Islington Mill.

'Over the course of a three week residency, Michael has aimed to enter the Mill’s daily life and capture
its varied moods, its madness and serenity, its inward and outward faces, documenting its spaces and
events through observational drawing and painting. He has also made a series of paintings which
explore its larger context within an area that is in transition, held awkwardly between post-industrial
emptiness and bland redevelopment.'

'Featuring a selection of watercolour works from 21 British artists, the new Contemporary British Watercolours exhibition at Maidstone Museum provides a host of compelling works that demonstrate the 21st-century approach to what has long been heralded as a quintessentially British format.
Curated by acclaimed watercolour artist Simon Carter, the exhibition - which runs from September 19 - November 7 in the Bentlif II and Bearsted-Bentlif Art Galleries - charts contemporary activity within this artistic method. The display represents a fascinating insight into how watercolour as a medium has evolved in the modern era, with excitement and experimentation key to current techniques.'

Tom Harrison Wins Jerwood Drawing Prize

Tom Harrison, From Andrew's Flat, Singapore

Current Drawing Year student Tom Harrison has won this year's Jerwood Drawing Prize.

'My initial pull for the drawing was seeing all of this from an elevated position, an abstract pattern of the buildings jostling for space with the jungle becoming even more apparent.'

A total of 60 works by 58 artists were chosen from over 3072 submitted works for the Jerwood Drawing Prize exhibition by a panel comprising the artist Dexter Dalwood, artist/curator Salima Hashmi and art historian John-Paul Stonard.

The shortlist exhibition this year also includes alumni Mary Milner, Pia Bramley and Rosie Vohra.
