The Glasgow-trained artist Rosalind Nashashibi is in the running for one of the most prestigious prizes in the arts, the Turner Prize.
She joins Hurvin Anderson, Andrea Büttner and Lubaina Himid on this year's short list.
This year an exhibition of work by the four shortlisted artists will be held at Ferens Art Gallery in Hull as part of the UK City of Culture celebrations from 26 September.
The winner will be announced on 5 December.
Marking a change in the age rules of the prize, Nashashibi - who makes films - is the youngest contender, aged 43.
A leading female artist, Lubaina Himid, is the oldest person to be nominated for the prize.
At 62, Himid is eligible for the £25,000 Turner Prize after the award ended its ban on artists aged over fifty.
Another British artist is also recognised, 52-year-old Hurvin Anderson.
Anderson has been short listed for his exhibitions, Dub Versions at New Art Exchange in Nottingham and Hurvin Anderson: Backdrop at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Canada.
Ms Büttner has been short listed for shows in Switzerland and Los Angeles and works in a wide range of media including printmaking, sculpture, video and painting.
Ms Himid has been short listed for shows in Oxford and Bristol, as well as her participation in group exhibition The Place is Here at Nottingham Contemporary.
Ms Nashashibi, who attended Glasgow School of Art, has been short listed for her solo exhibition On This Island at The University Art Galleries at UC Irvine’s Claire Trevor School of the Arts in California, and her participation in Documenta 14.
The jury was "impressed by the depth and maturity of Nashashibi’s work, which often examines sites of human occupation and the coded relationships that occur within those spaces – whether a family home or garden, a ship or the Gaza Strip."
The Turner Prize award is £40,000 with £25,000 going to the winner and £5,000 each for the other shortlisted artists. Every other year, the prize leaves Tate Britain and is presented at a venue outside London.
The jury is chaired by Alex Farquharson, Director of Tate Britain.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
