British artist Curtis Holder shortlisted for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2025

I am delighted that my drawing Echoes of Eshu II (coloured pencil on paper, 150 x 121 cm, 2024) has been shortlisted for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize, the UK’s leading exhibition dedicated to contemporary drawing.

The exhibition will be presented at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London in the autumn, launching with a preview and awards announcement on 8 October 2025.

It will include a diverse selection of drawings chosen by the selection panel: Fiona Bradley OBE, Director of Fruitmarket; Kieran Long, Director of Amos Rex; and Soheila Sokhanvari, Artist.

The exhibition reflects a broad range of current drawing practice and provides a platform for artists at all career stages to exhibit their work alongside other leading practitioners.

The Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize is supported by the Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust and led by its founding Director, Professor Anita Taylor.

You can visit the exhibition at Trinity Buoy Wharf from 9-21 October 2025.
