The five winning paintings in the prestigious John Moores 22

The five works (artists in alphabetical order) are:

collective artists’ group).
Super Star Fucker – Andy Warhol Text Painting by Peter Davies,
who exhibited in the Royal Academy’s Sensation exhibition in
1997.
Hoary Footman 1997 –2001 by Alan Gouk, a Scottish-based artist
who was a John Moores prizewinner as long ago as 1967.
Bloomsbury Square WC1 1989 by Martin Maloney, who has held one-man
exhibitions in London, Milan and Cologne.
Sepal by Paul Morrison, who was born in Liverpool. This year he was
included in the Jerwood Painting Prize and held a one-man show at art
dealer Asprey Jacques, London.
From these, a main prize of £25,000 will be awarded with four further
prizes of £2,500 each. The main prizewinner out of the five will be
announced at the gallery next Thursday 12 September and the exhibition
open to the public on Saturday 14 September 2002.
These paintings will be among 38 works being shown in John Moores 22
exhibition of contemporary painting at the Walker from 14 September to
8 December 2002 as part of the Liverpool Biennial.
The three judges artists Fiona Rae and Jenny Saville and artist/writer
Matthew Collings selected the exhibition and winners from over 5,000
entries. Fiona Rae, shortlisted for the Turner Prize and a Sensation
exhibitor, says: “We judged all the paintings anonymously;
inevitably we recognise some people’s work. However, the open
nature of the exhibition means everyone has a chance.”
