Northern Art Prize exhibition brings together the work of shortlisted artists at the Leeds Art Gallery

LEEDS.- Work by shortlisted artists Liadin Cooke, Leo Fitzmaurice, James Hugonin and Richard Rigg have come together in the exhibition on which they will be judged for the fifth annual Northern Art Prize, at Leeds Art Gallery from 25 November 2011 until 19 February 2012. Sarah Brown, curator of exhibitions at Leeds Art Gallery and chair of the judging panel commented: “The 2012 Prize short list brings to our attention four very different artists who each produce work that often takes a painstakingly long time to craft. As the world moves ever faster it is interesting that the judges have selected artists who invest a great deal of time in each piece.” Based in Huddersfield, Cooke is known for the delicate watercolours and sculptures that make up her practice. For the Northern Art Prize she will present a body of new work, the roots of which are in her passion for language, site and history. Cooke&#14
