ForewordSince its launch in 2012 and the successful conclusion of its rst two

cycles in 2013 and 2014, ArtGemini Prize has widened its constituency,

reaching out to artists from an astoundingly rich variety of disciplines

across the world. This years innovation is the Sele, with a heartening

and inspiring response.

An added boost to ArtGemini Prize this year is the featuring of a

selection of the Prize entries in the Affordable Art Fair, Singapore,

which attracts a highly diverse array of collectors and is a prestigious

coming together of international artists in a cultural hub of exceptional

repute.

Any new art prize could not have wished for a more satisfying start

than the reception accorded ArtGeminis launch cycle in 2013 and the

second cycle in 2014. This years entries demonstrate that encouraging

trend as well as a growing response from the European and particularly

UK graduates. Artists working in an impressive diversity of genres and

styles have competed through these three years for internationalrecognition, making the most of the platform offered by ArtGemini

Prize.

The extraordinarily inclusive appeal of ArtGemini Prize continues to

draw international artists which, as before, has been apparent in new

entries.

As ArtGemini Prize moves into the next cycle it remains steadfast inpursuing its stated mission of helping artists achieve those goals

irrespective of geographical boundaries.

PrefaceReturning to the latest cycle of ArtGemini Prize, its third since its highly pop-

ular launch in 2013, it gives me great pleasure to present the new range of

works by artists who are taking part in this years competition.

As before, the diversity and range of talent on display in submissions for the

2015 cycle is both gratifying and inspiring, reinforcing the condence and faith

of both the judges and the organizing committee. As viewers will note, our

judging panel expanded appreciably during the course of bringing this years

cycle to fruition.

Whilst the opening years ArtGemini Prize brought together a thrilling total744 works from 33 countries across the world, this years tally is even more

impressive, with 956 entries from 34 countries countries. This aesthetically

enriching international response once again is a welcome validation of the

rationale for the continued development and growth of ArtGemini Prize.

Just as the inaugural 2013 cycle was a culmination of many months of

preparation, after the idea of the prize was born, this years diversication

in the media and disciples accepted by the judges is an indication the prize

grows from strength to strength. I feel honoured and privileged to be

hosting this vast array of artists for the 2015 series of events accompanying

the prize, the winners exhibition in London and further shows in Singapore

and possibly elsewhere. None of this could have been possible without

consistent support of a growing number of artists, our judges and their

colleagues and friends among art curators, our many partner organisations

and their networks, colleagues and friends.

My thanks also go to all those who have lent their generous support to the

prize, including the sponsors of Prize elements. I look forward to working

again with artists, art organisations and art sponsors for the next edition, the

ArtGemini Prize 2016.
