The winners have been announced for the Jerwood
drawing prize 2013, the UK's largest and longest running annual open exhibition
for drawing.
More than 3,000
entries were submitted this year for consideration by the independent panel of
selectors.
Svetlana
Fialova scooped the £8,000 top award for an ink portrait of her boyfriend
"in an apathetic pose, pulling chewing gum out of his mouth".
The second
prize of £5,000 was awarded to Marie von Heyl for a video work.
It shows the
artist examining her London flat using her own body.
Kristian
Fletcher and Tamsin Nagel were the recipients of the student awards of £2,000
each.
Life, death and the
absurd
Fletcher, who
recently graduated from the Prince's Drawing School, London, was honoured for
his pen, pencil and charcoal drawing, The Wrench.
Berlin-born
Tamsin Nagel, who studied at the Royal College of Art, London, produced the
work Enclave (ii), which explores small-town notions of life, death, religion
and the absurd.
This year's
panel included Kate Brindley, director of the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern
Art; artist Michael Craig-Martin RA; and art critic and broadcaster Charlotte
Mullins.
They awarded
special commendations to Neville Gabie for his video and chalk work entitled
Experiments In Black And White VII; and to Gary Lawrence for Saint Stansted
(and Other Stuff), a mixed media drawing using biro, gel, and felt pens and oil
pastel on paper.
An exhibition
of the winning works and other shortlisted entries will be on display at
Jerwood Space in London from 11 September - 27 October 2013, followed by a tour
of venues across the UK
