Ooooh, the shortlist for the Turner Prize has been revealed!As ever the Dear Green Place is well represented. The four-person shortlist includes two Glasgow-based artists, Karla Black and Martin Boyce - both studied at Glasgow School of Art.
Karla Black, who is also representing Scotland at the Venice Biennale this year, creates sculptures from a variety of materials ranging from mud and lipstick to powder and cellophane - always good to see a commitment to recycling. Martin Boyce's work is also interesting consisting of sculptures inspired by modernist design history.
Glasgow has been the home to a number of Turner Prize winners including Susan Philipsz, Douglas Gordon, Martin Creed, Simon Starling and Richard Wright, long may this continue!
Above are some examples of the work of Martin Boyce and Karla Black.
