Turner Prize upset as still life painter shortlisted

Gillian Carnegie, 34, is the first artist who exclusively uses paint as a medium to be nominated for the £25,000 (37,000) prize for five years.

The other three nominees are Darren Almond, who displayed bus stops he saw outside the Auschwitz Museum in Poland in a gallery in Berlin; Jim Lambie, known for his psychedelic floor pieces, and environmentally-friendly artist Simon Starling, 38, who rode a moped across the Andalucian desert in Andalucia which generated power using compressed bottled hydrogen and oxygen from the desert air.
