I went to the Brick Lane Gallery at the weekend. There was a collective show on and I was particularly struck by the paintings of Fiona White. She is Australian. Her subjects are largely people but they are quite stylised  almost iconographic. Very simple and very powerful.

Some brief further research has revealed that she won the Blake Prize for Human Justice. See an interview about her winning painting on http://www.blakeprize.com/news/human-justice-prize-winner-fiona-white.
