Gillian Carnegie, born 1971 in Suffolk, lives and works in London, UK. Carnegie is a graduate of the Camberwell School of Art and the Royal College of Art. Carnegie works within traditional categories of painting – still life, landscape, the figure and portraiture. Yet while apparently following the conventions of representational painting, Carnegie challenges its established languages and unsettles its assumptions.
Carnegie was nominated for the 2005 Turner Prize shortlist at London's Tate Britain gallery. She is represented by Cabinet Gallery, London and Dependence Gallery, Brussels.
