To open our 2004 programme of exhibitions, Art Space Gallery is delighted to
bring together five young painters who have graduated within the last three
years and who share a belief in the vitality of painting.
The most recent graduates are Joanna Henley and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye both
of whom completed their training in 2003 from the Slade School of Fine Art
and the Royal Academy Schools respectively. Esther Heylen graduated from the
Slade in 2002 and was awarded a place with bursary support on the 'Drawing
Year' at the Prince's Foundation during 2003 where she also received the
Inga Bord-Scott prize. Gideon Rubin is from Tel-Aviv, Israel, and following
four years at the School of Visual Arts in New York he trained at the Slade
School of Fine Art, graduating in 2002. He has since exhibited in several
group shows in London and Hamburg and has had a solo exhibition in Tel-Aviv.
Rebecca Skertchly trained initially at the Slade and then at the Royal
Academy Schools where she was awarded her Postgraduate Diploma in 2001 along
with the British Institute Fund Prize. Since then she won a major prize at
the first Royal West of England Academy Open Exhibition and has exhibited in
a number of group shows in London.
The five painters selected for this exhibition have one other thing in
common; they are all figurative painters who are dealing with an aspect of
reality. We hope by showing the work of these young artists together to
reveal how, through the language of painting, they each capture reality in
their own very different ways.
