Graham Crowley wins John Moores Painting Prize with 10th entry

Crowley's enthusiasm for the prize has seen him shortlisted for it twice before and serve as part of its judging panel

He said his entry, Light Industry, was inspired by the "enthralling" light at a Framlingham dealership he visited.A record number of paintings were entered for the 2023 prize and were whittled down to a shortlist of five. "In places, the monochromatic image ceases to be an image and paint and colour take over, which is very much the desired effect of a workshop - a haven we know all creatives are excited by," they added.

"This is important as I, like most practising painters, am not represented by a gallery or commercial interest."
