Brian Cheeswright (UK)
Brian Cheeswright ( b.1978, Harrow) was the winner of the Marmite Prize for Painting IV (2012-2013)
I’m painting in order to discover if I can make paintings. My work is heaped in the detritus of the day: bits of memory, conversations, dreams, frustrations. I’m also still battling with that old hackneyed abstraction versus figuration thing too. Every picture is a sort of failure, but leads to a new question.

Mark O’Kelly (IRELAND)
Mark O’Kelly (b.1968) lives and works in Dublin and Limerick. He is a lecturer in Fine Art at Limerick School of Art and Design. He is a graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art (1992) and of the National College of Art and Design, Dublin (1990). Exhibiting paintings, vitrines and installations, his work is the outcome of a practice of image research that explores the space between the photographic document and the cosmetic image. The studio based painting practice at the core of this work has provided the foundation for a series of specifically conceived installations addressing theories of representation, reproduction and quotation. Forthcoming solo exhibition:,
Empireland, Project Arts Centre, curated by Tessa Giblin, Dublin, 2016
