Three artists represented by New Blood Art \u2013 Nicola Wiltshire<\/a>, Arlene Sharp<\/a> and Ruth Bateman<\/a> \u2013 have each been longlisted for the Jackson\u2019s Art Prize this year, an international painting competition that receives thousands of submissions from artists around the world.<\/p>\n

While their approaches are very different, there is an interesting thread that connects them. Each turns to the natural world as a source of inspiration.<\/p>\n

Nicola Wiltshire<\/a> draws on everyday observation \u2013 woodland walks, flowers from the garden and the landscapes glimpsed from a train window \u2013 translating these moments through vivid colour and the tactile surface of patterned fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Arlene Sharp<\/a>\u2019s paintings evolve from direct encounters with landscape; through walking, sketching and layered painting processes she captures the shifting light, colour and form of places she knows well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ruth Bateman<\/a>\u2019s landscapes move further inward, emerging from memory and emotion to create spaces that sit somewhere between real places and imagined ones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is striking how often contemporary painters are returning to nature at the moment. In different ways, each of these artists uses landscape as a way to explore experience, memory and the feeling of being in the natural world.<\/p>\n
