Episode 6
Competition for a spot at a grand exhibition at the Mall Galleries. Featuring a professional artist from London, a painter from the Isle of Wight and a graphic designer.
Londoner Matthew has already built up a sizeable reputation as a professional artist selling pieces for as much as 拢10,000. But he is also a man with a mission. If he gets through to the exhibition and sells his work, he would use the money to set up art workshops for disadvantaged people. He has chosen to show the judges an unusual piece - a colourful portrait painted not on a canvas, but on a fridge door. But if the Hanging Committee don't like what they see, Matthew's reputation could be in tatters.
Judith, 64, is a professional painter from the Isle of Wight. Judith was a late starter in the art world, but she has already had her work hung in the Mall Galleries many times before. Can she manage it again with her huge oil painting entitled Birthday Girls?
Joseph, 25, is a graphic designer from Burton on Trent. He has already been tipped as one of a new generation of Young British Artists and he is no stranger to controversy given his favourite subjects - sex, death, religion and war. He may be making waves in the art world but a place at the exhibition would give him some serious credibility. Will his print entitled Nissunami get him there?
