Bloomberg New Contemporaries

Just a quick mention that I entered my work for selection in the Bloomberg New Contemporaries. I choose my best piece this year, Skin Flick, together with my best second year work. Below are the six works I submitted. In retrospect I wonder if it might not have been better to submit more than one of my multimedia collages, instead of perhaps the last two paintings, but that is the nature of any kind of selection process -once you have entered its inevitable you will wonder if you should have done things differently. All I can do now is sit back & wait.

01/05 Update!! This is the best news ever - !!SELECTED!! Wow, what an incredible treat for International Labour Day.....I'm through!! I got an email today telling me that I have been chosen for the 2014 Bloomberg New Contemporaries Show. Fantastic! I can't tell you how excited I am by this news, it is quite simply, the best news ever! Also, to answer my question about what I should have submitted, it seems I got it dead right -every single one of the pieces I submitted were chosen for the show.
