 Turner sensation - it's a tradition - Arts - Entertainment - smh.com.au
Gillian Carnegie, a 34-year-old Londoner, has already achieved some notoriety for her paintings of her own bottom, which looked almost exactly like a woman's bottom, give or take the odd brush stroke.
Carnegie, famed for her still-life oil paintings of wilting flowers, was promptly installed by bookmakers as favourite for the £25,000 ($60,000) award.
Carnegie's paintings of flowers in vases, garden scenes and dark, sylvan landscapes show that she represents a tradition very different from previous winners such as Damien Hirst, flesh-pickler to the stars, Rachel Whiteread, the queen of the concrete-covered house, or Grayson Perry, transvestite potter.
