Dentons is collaborating with curator and art consultant Niamh White to host a biannual prize for some of the most exciting emerging contemporary artists globally today. The competition was launched to support diverse and dynamic artists as they embark on their careers. Shortlisted artists will exhibit their artwork in Dentons’ meeting rooms and offices at One Fleet Place, London. The artworks on display reflect the ambition, creativity and talent of London’s young art scene, providing a stimulating and vibrant environment for Dentons’ staff, clients and partners. The initiative gives the Dentons community the opportunity to engage with the artworks in a meaningful way through a series of booklets, artist talks and events.

The Dentons Art Prize will be awarded to one artist biannually by a jury of arts professionals and Dentons representatives. It will be a monetary award of £5,000. In an additional effort to support these artists in their career development, Dentons will provide them with pro bono legal advice and all artwork will be offered for sale.

Staff Prize In conjunction to this award, we will also be celebrating an artist with the “Staff Prize”. This will be awarded to the most popular artist as voted by Dentons’ London employees.

Jack Otway

Jack Otway examines the superficial as a site for invention. Drawing upon inorganic structures found in Black Metal logos, BMovie blood splatters and computer simulations, these works are painted as synthetic terrains. Otway’s monochromatic paintings present meshes of fluid strokes as a result of rhythmic bodily gestures.

Otway is a visual artist who lives and works in London. He holds a first class BA in Fine Art from the University of Leeds and spent a year studying painting at Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts, Krakow. He was awarded the APT Graduate Studio Award and was shortlisted for Griffin Art Prize. Otway was selected for the Chisenhale Studios Into the Wild programme and his work has been included in XL Catlin Art Guide and Looking at Painting Vol II. Recent exhibitions include Skin Deep, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Leeds (2016) and XL Catlin Art Guide Book.

Xiao-yang Li

Xiao-yang Li’s work is concerned with the representation of the human body. Taking inspiration from statues of antiquity, ancient architecture and mythical imagery, she strives to invent worlds where bodies and their environments intertwine through a visual language that is both sculptural and painterly. These curious compositions defy easy categorisation and reference a myriad of different times, places and styles.

Xiao-Yang Li is a painter based in London. She holds a Masters in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art & Design and was selected to be part of Bloomberg New Contemporaries upon graduation. She has been awarded merit-based financial support to attend the Vermont Studio Centre residency (2016) and she won a partial scholarship for her one-year research project at University of Southampton (2015). Li has exhibited at Ruth Borchard Next Generation Collection, King’s Place Piano Nobile Gallery, London (2016), Studio 1.01, London (2015), Yellow Space, Varese (2015), ICA, London (2015), Newlyn Art Gallery, UK (2015), World Museum, Liverpool (2014) and Can Serrat Open, Barcelona (2014). Li’s works have been acquired for several prestigious public and private collections.

Alexandra Lethbridge

Found photographs, archival imagery and constructed compositions form the basis of Alexandra Lethbridge’s research-based practice. Drawing upon a range of references and source material, she combines scientific theories with fictional images, bringing them together as a form of storytelling. Approaching image-making in a playful and experimental way, her practice deliberately mixes fact and fiction to create expanded views of the subject matter she explores.

Alexandra Lethbridge is a photographer based in the UK. She holds a Masters in Photography from the University of Brighton and studied at Winchester School of Art and the International Centre of Photography in New York. Her book, The Meteorite Hunter, was shortlisted for the 2014 Paris Photo / Aperture Foundation First PhotoBook Award and was added the Museum of Modern Art, New York collection. She was the Professional Choice Winner of the Danny Wilson Memorial Award and the Flash Forward Magenta Foundation Winner 2015. Lethbridge was selected for Fresh Faced and Wild Eyed 2015 show at The Photographer’s Gallery, London.

Jennifer Hooper

Jennifer Hooper is inspired by the natural world and her paintings are insightful meditations on our place within it. Hooper is engaged with the contemporary artist’s role in cross-disciplinary collaboration and has worked with NGOs and conservationists on international projects. Through exhibitions, collaborations and research trips, she endeavours to highlight and respond to environmental concerns. This is often explored through carefully observed relationships between opposing subjects; often the animal or the animal encounter is the focus.

Jennifer Hooper is a London-based visual artist. She studied Fine Art at Camberwell College of Art and Anatomy at University College London. Her work was published in Ghosts of Gone Birds, The Story Of, by Bloomsbury and she has exhibited internationally with recent exhibitions including Aviary, Transition Gallery, London (2016), WhatArtULol, Shonibare Studios Guest Projects, London (2016), To the Trees: A Changing Home, ONCA Gallery, Brighton (2015) and Into the Wild, Kiosko Galleria, Santa Cruz, Bolivia (2014).

Rebecca Byrne

Rebecca Byrne’s work is an exploration of the psychological impact of interior space. In particular, her interest lies in the rooms that people inhabit, the traces left behind in abandoned spaces and thresholds into fantastical places that cannot exist. Byrne works repetitively, looking to create unforeseen relationships between artworks and to suggest improvised fractured narratives.

Rebecca Byrne is a visual artist based in London. She holds a Masters in Fine Art from the Chelsea College of Art & Design and has a Post Graduate Diploma from DePaul University Law School, Chicago. She recently completed The Bothy Project Residency on the Isle of Eigg, which was supported by Winsor & Newton. Her recent exhibitions include More Curious To Me, No Format Gallery, London, (2016), Pool, Griffin Gallery, London (2016), The Poor Door, A-Side B-Side Gallery, London (2015), The Red Files, Schwartz Gallery, London (2015) and Art Athina, Lubomirov-Easton Gallery, Athens (2015).

Natasha Malik

Natasha Malik’s practice incorporates the various modes of representation learned during her training in Indian miniature painting. Through printmaking, painting, photography and installation, she explores thematic concerns such as female identity and sexuality developed within the constraints of patriarchy. In recent work, the imagery of architectural structures inspired by detailed studies of her home in Lahore, Pakistan, is used to explore an intimate inner landscape grappling with nostalgia, displacement and psychological transformation.

Natasha Malik (b. 1988 Pakistan) holds a Masters in Fine Art (Painting) from the Slade School of Fine Art and a BA in Fine Art from the National College of Arts, Lahore, specialising in Indian miniature painting. Malik will have her first solo show at Sanat Initiative, Karachi, Pakistan in November 2016. Her work has been included in various exhibitions including the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours 204th Exhibition, Mall Galleries, London (2016), The London Group 82nd Open Exhibition (2015), The Cello Factory, London (2015), Hix Award Exhibition (2015), CNB Gallery, London (2015), Day After Tomorrow, Alhamra Art Gallery, Lahore (2012), Culture and Democracy: The Exhibition’, Zahoor-ul Akhlaq Gallery, Lahore (2008). In 2015, she was awarded the Shakir Ali Award for academic excellence by the National College of Arts, Lahore.

Tamsin Relly

Tamsin Relly’s practice reflects on the increasingly disrupted weather conditions of a shifting global climate and explores notions of ‘wilderness’, either erased or constructed for industry or leisure. She draws on first hand observations from diverse locations such as receding glaciers in Svalbard in the Arctic Circle, displaced wildlife in zoos or the fabricated oasis of Las Vegas. Working with the fluid and unpredictable qualities of her materials and processes, Relly presents impressions of both urban and natural environments in states of uncertainty or impermanence.

Tamsin Relly is a London-based visual artist. After establishing her practice in South Africa, she moved to London in 2009 and completed her Masters in Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art School. Recent exhibitions include Arcadia, Smith Gallery, Cape Town (2016),Painter Printmakers, Royal Academy of Arts, London (2014-15), Whispers, Ronchini, London (2015), Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, London (2012, 2013 and 2014), Publish/Curate at TJ Boulting in London (2014), HONORÈ and Galerie Rue Visconti, Paris (2014). Relly had a solo exhibition, Jungle Snow, at The Place Downstairs, London (2014). Her artist residencies include Arteles in Finland (2016), Remembering the North at RE·THINK: Environment, National Maritime Museum, London (2015), Pocantico, Rockefeller Brother Fund, New York (2015), and The Arctic Circle, Svalbard (2014).

Tristan Barlow

Tristan Barlow’s paintings are visual fictions with concrete realities. The spaces created within each painting exist within a current of silent tension and deceptive stillness. The compression and expansion of spatial tensions and figurative cues create an autonomous work while alluding to a broader historical dialogue within painting.

Tristan Barlow is a visual artist who lives and works in London. Barlow studied at the University of Southern Mississippi, the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture and the Slade School of Fine Art. Barlow was awarded the Barto dos Santos Memorial Award (2015) and the Red Mansion Art Prize (2014) and has completed the Red Gate Residency, Beijing, China (2014) and the Vermont Studio Center Residency, Vermont, USA (2013). His work has been exhibited widely and will be included in the John Moores Painting Prize Exhibition opening at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool (2016). He also featured in the Red Mansion Art Prize Exhibition, London (2015) and Creekside Open, selected by Lisa Milroy, London (2015).

Nancy Milner

Nancy Milner’s practice involves constructing paintings that fix colour and form in various, tense economies. When she makes a painting, she begins with a series of drawings on paper, which she sifts and edits to achieve a colourless draft. With these drawings as a scaffold, she contemplates how superimposed colours can generate a vital whole. The process is not pre-set; the painting grows and reshapes with the passage of time. They grasp for a legible equilibrium – a balance between colour and line, vacancy and fullness.

Nancy Milner graduated from the Royal Academy Schools and from the University of Reading. During 2014-15, she was the British School at Rome’s Abbey Scholar in Painting. Recent exhibitions of her work include the John Moores Painting Prize 2016, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool (2016), Gradation, AF Projects (2016), Ittenology, Rook & Raven Gallery, London (2016), June Mostra, The British School at Rome (2015), Spazzi Aperti 2015, Accademia di Romania, Rome (2015), At Home Salon, Marcelle Joseph Projects, Ascot (2014), Royal Academy Schools Show, London (2013), Form from Form, Matthews Yard, London (2013) and Premiums Interim Projects, Royal Academy of Arts, London (2012). Her work is in the Jerwood Collection and the Hiscox Collection. In 2012, she won the Jerwood Purchase Prize for Painting at Premiums Interim Projects.

Adam Collier

The objects and images that comprise Adam Collier’s output belie a fascination with the contingent nature of narrative and an interest in how an object’s social agency is offset by its essential materiality. Influenced by Mikhail Bakhtin’s notions of the carnivalesque, he creates objects that are shaped by a pattern of play and sometimes marked by a display of excess or grotesqueness. Things are rendered ever-changing, playful and under-defined, hierarchies are overturned through inversions, debasements and profanations, and humour is counterposed to the seriousness of officialdom in such a way as to subvert it.

Adam Collier studied at the Royal Academy Schools and the University of the West of England. His recent exhibitions include Adam Collier, Aimee Parrott, Ben Sanderson, Porthmoer Studios, St Ives (2015), The Kennington Residency, London (2015), the Royal Academy Schools Show, London (2015), Premiums: Interim Projects, Royal Academy Schools, London (2014), Ideal State, Motorcade Flash Parade, Bristol (2012). He completed the Residence L’Universite de Paris Sorbonne (2014).

Phoebe Boswell

Phoebe Boswell is a multimedia artist whose practice explores states of diasporic consciousness, anchored in concerns with notions of home and what it means to belong or not to belong. Utilising a wide range of media including drawing, hand drawn animation, projection, sound, film, interactivity and installation, Boswell’s aim is to create layered languages, robust enough to be able to tell nuanced stories of identities such as her own, stories that are too complex to tell in a single drawing or a single screen film.

Phoebe Boswell received a BA in Fine Art (Painting) from the Slade School of Art and a PgDip (Distinction) in 2D Character Animation. Her animation has been nominated for numerous awards including a British Animation Award. She was the first recipient of the Sky Academy Arts Scholarship and her work has been exhibited in Carroll / Fletcher, Kristin Hjellegjerde, Iniva, Royal Academy, and Bonhams. Her work has most recently been shown at the Gothenburg International Biennial of Contemporary Art (GIBCA), HANGAR (Lisbon) and the 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair at Pioneer Works (New York). Boswell has completed residencies at the Florence Trust and IASPIS at the Konstepidemin (Sweden).

In 2014, Boswell spent 3 months in Zanzibar, researching the island’s prevalent belief in an ulterior ‘spirit world’, culminating in a body of work called The Lizards Within Us. For this work, she pieced together various aspects of her research to examine how storytelling, nuance and language aid our personal predilections towards belief.
