New Sensations, called by some ‘a baby Turner Prize’, was launched six years ago by the Saatchi Gallery and Channel 4 to support the most imaginative and talented young artists in the UK and to present their work to an international audience during Frieze Week. In 2009 another Ruskin graduate Oliver beer has won the prize.

The Prize is now established in the UK as the most important annual prize for emerging artists and it attracts entries each year from the best graduates studying at UK and Republic of Ireland art schools.

The New Sensations exhibition is now recognized as one of the unmissable art events of Frieze Week in London, offering collectors an unparalleled opportunity to see the finest emerging art from across the UK.

The works of the winners were shown at the New Sensations exhibition, along with works by 17 other shortlisted artists.
