Esther Stewart won the 2016 Sulman Prize for her painting Flatland Dreaming. Taking its title from an Edwin Abbott’s 19th-century novel that drew comparison between dimensional geometry and Victorian social mores, the painting considers domestic spaces through the dimensions of abstraction and minimalism.

“Winning the Sir John Sulman Prize is an incredible honour and I am extremely delighted,” said Stewart.
