2026 Themes and work

This image was the winning entry of a 2012 competition run by the London Transport Museum and sponsored by Serco. The theme of the piece was ‘Secret London’ and recalled the location of an arch that had once stood at the entrance to the City of London now defined by the Griffin. The arch was re-discovered overgrown and forgotten in Essex and was returned to where it now stands in Paternoster Square, behind St Paul’s.

The first entry under Fantastic Beasts theme:

 

The Kelpie by Jenny Rutland

  A3 Watercolour – Jenny Rutland says she was inspired by her Landmarks piece below. She says I thought I would do a “real” kelpie for fantastic beasts. A scottish fantastic beast that lives in the water, it is thought that it is used to frighten children away from deep water, a nice idea.

The first entry under the Landmarks theme:

The Kelpies by Jenny Rutland

  The Kelpies are a pair of monumental steel horse-heads     between the Scottish towns of Falkirk and Grangemouth.   They stand next to the M9 motorway and form the   eastern gateway of the Forth and Clyde Canal, which   meets the River Carron here. Each head is 30 metres high   and weighs approximately 300 tonnes.

  Watercolour on A3 paper

 

Jenny is a long term supporter of the InFinnity Project – she says: I enjoy entering the Infinnity Project every year and thinking about the challenges of the themes. Art is very relaxing for me. I find it impossible to be anxious when I am concentrating on a piece.
