ING Discerning Eye returns to Mall Galleries, London, bringing together artists from across the country.
The event celebrates a wide range of art media, from print to sculpture, from all regions across the UK.
The exhibition comprises both publicly submitted works and works independently selected by six prominent figures from different areas of the art world: artists, collectors and critics. Each section is hung separately to give each its own distinctive identity. The impression emerges of six small exhibitions within the whole.
It provides an unusual opportunity for works by lesser-known artists to be hung alongside contributions from internationally recognised names. The selectors are solely responsible for their own selection; selection is not by committee. The only restrictions are limitation of size (only small works are permitted) and to select at least 33% of their section from the open submission.
This year’s selectors are Curtis Holder, Rosie Millard, Polly Morgan, Dr Chris Stephens. Richard Ansett, Nicholas Scott
