ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This small painting which was part of the 2018 Royal Academy Exhibition curated by Grayson Perry, depicts a public bench on Well Walk, just at the village entrance to Hampstead Heath in London. It seems to bear silent witness to untold generations of adults and children who have made their way past it on their excursions to and from the Heath. I was attracted to the seat by its appearance of uncomplaining dilapidation, sited as it is on the quiet road where the painter John Constable described himself as being able to ‘..get away from idle callers..’

Winner of The Threadneedle Prize, and 2019 winner of the London and the South East Regional Prize at ING Discerning Eye Exhibition. Sheila Wallis brings the skills of a traditional figurative painter to bear on a wide spectrum of contemporary and historical subject matter. Cinematic film stills, photojournalism, boxing bouts, post mortem daguerreotypes and Victorian asylum photographs have all inspired a meticulous critique of lens-based imagery, inviting reconsideration of the public and the private, fiction and fact, the dispassionate lens and the hand of the painter. Drawing on her experience of growing up catholic in Derry City in the north of Ireland during the height of the Troubles, Wallis’ work insinuates political awareness and redemptive creative transformation in equal measure. Sheila Wallis has also won the Winsor and Newton Painting Prize, the Watts Painting Prize and In 2014 was awarded the City and Guilds of London MA Fine Art Principal’s Prize. Sheila lives with her husband in London, and works from her South London studio
