Caption needed

Lynette was short-listed in the Visual Arts category for her superb exhibition Verses After Dusk at the Serpentine Gallery, London, last year.  She was nominated alongside Cornelia Parker and Banksy. 

Verses After Dusk (2 Jun 2015 to 13 Sep 2015) surveyed Lynette's recent and newly produced paintings, and included a series of ten new etchings created specifically for the show

Representing the range of techniques employed by the artist, Verses After Dusk raised timeless (and timely) questions of identity and representation in art, bringing awareness to such matters and to the shortcomings of art history.

The awards ceremony is broadcast on Sky Arts on 8 June.
