Scintillation and Substance – A New Artist to Watch
Ruth Bateman’s paintings are a rare encounter - Her mark-making resonates below language. You can almost feel the air shift: the shimmer of heat, the sound of crickets in the grass, stars flickering above a line of foliage. Scintillation, saturation, sensation.
She has been shortlisted for both the 2024 Contemporary British Painting Prize and Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year within the last 12 months - and she’s gone straight into our Master’s section. This is serious work, and this is the moment to buy.
