I’m waiting to find out if Requiem for Oil has won a prize in the Bath Open Art Prize Exhibition 2024 – the show is free entry – as the judging was yesterday. The standards of exhibitors are very high so I’m not optimistic. But in the meantime I came across the truly wonderful Sue Coe, an artist and activist working in the USA, born in the UK just a few months later than me. Although I often search for artists who are activists and produce political art I can’t recall seeing her work but she is an illustrator as well as a painter and printmaker and he work has often appeared on the (essential) Counterpunch website, a place I look at almost every day.
NB. The winners of the Bath Open Arts Prize were: 1st Aran Illingworth (Bag Lady, a textile piece); 2nd Oliver Hurst, (Moth on a Building, oil painting). Many congratulations to both.
