At the end of 2010, Huxley was lucky enough to be invited to give a Purchase Prize at The Discerning Eye exhibition in London. 

The Discerning Eye is an educational charity, established in the UK in 1990, to encourage a wider understanding and appreciation of the visual arts and to stimulate debate about the place and purpose of art in our society, and the contribution each one of us can make to its development. Check them out here - it is a great charity and a great Exhibition.

Here you can see Huxley’s founder, Benjamin Benton, talking about why Huxley gives a prize at the exhibition and why he chose the painting he chose. 


 


The painting (below) is called Lighter Sequence 1 and is by the young artist Rosemary Lewis. As you can see the painting not only channels a colour palette close to Huxley’s heart, but also uses the classic plastic lighter which somehow seems to resonate with both Huxley and with our target audience. At least we hope it does.
