'DRIED FLOWERS 2', ROLAND CORBIN
Jackson’s Painting Prize has steadily grown in size and reputation since it started in 2016, last year receiving nearly 9000 entries from 107 countries, with the shortlist gaining tens of thousands of views online with huge acclaim.
This year, the winners will be exhibiting at two venues. Our first stop will see us return to Affordable Art Fair Hampstead, followed by a summer exhibition at Bankside Gallery next to Tate Modern.
With an impressive expert judging panel, two London exhibitions, a first prize of £6000 + £1000 Jackson’s art materials, plus 15 other awards, we’re excited for our biggest year yet!

LORENA LEVI
Artist
https://www.lorenaleviart.net/Lorena Levi is a narrative portraiture painter. Her practice is research based where she uses the internet, speaking to to strangers on chatroom sites and listening to podcasts with real people to gain stories for paintings. Lorena has been collaging found images with her own to create compositions which display an imagined narrative, telling a story in a snapshot.
SAHARA LONGE
Artist
https://www.saharalonge.com/Sahara Longe is a British artist who lives and works in London, UK. Vibrantly coloured and often large in scale, Longe’s portraits depict the mysteries of human psychology and social interactions. Figures in rich planes of scarlet, green and black colour stare back at the viewer with unreadable expressions, often deliberately flattened and soft-edged. Her work draws on the lost methods of Old Master painting as well as the emotional ambiguity and high colour of German Expressionism.
ELLIE PENNICK
Director and Founder of Guts Gallery
https://gutsgallery.co.uk/Director and Founder of Guts Gallery, Ellie Pennick is one of the youngest gallerists navigating the art world today. As a working-class, queer Northerner with no art background, Pennick’s footing in the art world started with her frustrations at the lack of meaningful opportunities for people like her. After being unable to accept a place at a renowned institution due to her financial status, Pennick began to question the wider, social austerity within the arts. She launched Guts to create a fair art-business model (which has “far more importance to [her] than a piece of paper with a Masters grade on it”) and to champion emerging artists. She’s made it her mission to help artists demand the respect – and ownership – they deserve.
