Gary Lawrence beat approximately 3,500 entries to win the Jerwood Drawing award (and 6,000 GBP) this year with a pen ink drawing ('Homage to Anonymous') on the back of a discarded shop poster. His artwork will be on display, along with 60 other short-listed artists, until the end of October in JVA, Jerwood Space in London.

The 'Homage to Anonymous' drawing was inspired by a trip to Greece, according to Lawrence, and he studied art at Portsmouth University and at Illinois universities in the USA.
The Jerwood Drawing Prize is a competition that "aims to reward excellence and talent in contemporary drawing practice, through the support and recognition of the work of established and emerging artists in the field of drawing" (1), according to their website.
