Nina Murdoch (artist)
Nina Murdoch (born 1970) is a British painter, winner of the first Threadneedle Prize in 2008.
Murdoch graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art followed by a postgraduate diploma at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.[1]
Murdoch paints on large canvases using egg tempera on gesso, with a subject matter normally drawn from visits to the streets of South London.[2] Each painting can be made of up to 100 layers of medium, added then scraped back, which restricts her output to between 8 and 10 paintings per year.[2]
In 2008 Murdoch was winner of the inaugural Threadneedle Prize for figurative art, winning £25,000 for her Untitled painting of light on a pavement.[3][4]
In 2010 Murdoch joined the list of artists represented by Marlborough Fine Art, London.[5] She has had three shows with Marlborough, Shedding Light in 2011, Enlightenment in 2014, and Collecting Colour in 2018.
In November 2019, Murdoch won the ING Discerning Eye prize.
