Canvas #103

The cover features this year’s Richard Mille Art Prize winner Nasser Alzayani, whose work highlights this issue’s theme Down and Dirty, as we look at how artists understand, amplify and create using different aspects related to land. From utilising the soil beneath our feet to drawing inspiration from nature and working in partnership with the landscape, this issue serves as a reminder of our deep connection with the world around us.
