The 2010 Lynne Painter-Stainers prize, and young artist award are won by paintings featuring the fox
The Lynn Painter-Strainers prize was created by the Worshipful company of Painter-Stainers and the Lynn foundation to encourage creative representational painting and promote the skill of draftsmanship. Both winning artists have chosen to depict foxes. Rachel Levitas, who was awarded £15,000 for her Urban Fox III was inspired by meeting two foxes on her way home "These beautiful and
bold opportunists represents the rise of forces previously suppressed; the
return of the wild to London's streets, creativity emerging and adapting in a
collapsing economy, and perhaps too something darker, fear of the future."
The Young Artist Award of £2,500 was received by Lauren Archer for her painting The Chase, a more expressionist piece which would seem to have been influenced by Der Blaue Reiter group and Franz Marc
