Enrico David
A contemporary surrealist who was nominated for his How Do You Love Dzzzzt By Mammy? (Below) Which resembles some kind of bizarre papier mache rocking chair which some what looks like a penguin!
Roger Hiorns
Specialises in sculpture and instillation art. His nominated art is that of Seizure, which is the beautiful interior of a derelict flat in South London which was filled with liquid copper sulphate. The effect of this is that every surface of the space is encrusted with blue crystals. I think this looks magical, reminds me of a Santa's grotto! I simply can not believe this is a London flat.
Lucy Skaer
Creates films, drawings and sculptures often based on photographs as a starting point. Her work often is between recognition and ambiguity, figuration and abstraction. Black Alphabet is a beautiful piece of work, how delicate these forms are constructed from charcoal dust, yet how strong and bold they look together.. almost like a huddle of penguins in the cold (That's the second time I've mentioned penguins now!).
Richard Wright
Wright creates beautiful paintings which he works directly onto walls to the architecture in which they are created. These intricate paintings often include a graphic element, and complex patterns. I think his work is interesting, I like how his art becomes part of the history of the buildings, as after the exhibitions his art stays with the buildings forever as they are painted over and become part of the wall.
Personally I hope Lucy wins, but we won't know till the 7th of December 2009 on Channel four... one month to go!
