Jerwood Drawing Prize 2012
‘successful straddling of media occurs in Ishai Rimmer’s ‘In the kitchen’ (2012), a self portrait executed in gestural, broadbrush paint, which depicts the artist sitting in his underwear in his kitchen. Its presence here amounts to a welcome rebuttal of curators’ attempts, in recent years, to over-emphasise the difference between drawing and painting, the latter representing something of a poisoned chalice.’
Jerwood Drawing Prize 2012 review by James Cahill in This is Tomorrow contemporary art magazine.
‘You could hardly miss this large bold self portrait by Ishai Rimmer drawn, and in this case I do agree it is drawn, in household paint on paper. There is something about the size, the apparent simplicity of the image; the washing machine the oven. It is unmistakably now.’
