A Scottish artist who covered a red sports car with an ornamental doily mat has been shortlisted for this year's £25,000 Turner Prize.
Jasleen Kaur has been nominated for her 'Alter Altar' sculpture which was aimed at showcasing her growing up in Glasgow's Sikh community.
She joins Manilla-born Pio Abad, Manchester-born Claudette Johnson and Worthing-born Delaine Le Bas, whose artwork targets colonialism in museums, focuses on portraits of black women and men and explores the history of the Roma people.
The artists have been nominated in the prize's 40th anniversary event which will return to London's Tate Britain for the first time in six years.

Alex Farquharson, director of Tate Britain and chairman of the Turner Prize jury, said: 'It is an honour to announce such a fantastic shortlist of artists and I cannot wait to see their exhibition at Tate Britain this autumn.
'All four of them make work that is full of life. They show how contemporary art can fascinate, surprise and move us, and how it can speak powerfully of complex identities and memories, often through the subtlest of details.'

She had previously showcased her work at the Victoria and Albert Museum by looking at popular Indian cinema through Yoorup.
Rosie Cooper, director of Wysing Arts Centre, who sits on the judging panel, said Kaur sees the red sports car as a 'representation of her dad's first car and his migrant desires' and it 'blasted snippets of uplifting pop songs referencing freedom and liberation throughout the space'.
Johnson, 65, has been nominated for her solo exhibition 'Presence' at The Courtauld Gallery in London and Drawn Out at Ortuzar Projects, New York.
She uses portraits of black women and men in a combination of pastels, gouache and watercolour and was praised by the judges for her 'sensitive and dramatic use of line, colour, space and scale to express empathy and intimacy with her subjects'.

Le Bas, 58, has been nominated for her Here Begins The New Life/A New Life Is Beginning exhibition held in Vienna, which saw painted fabrics hung.
She was inspired by the death of her grandmother and the history of the Roma people.

The jury said they 'were impressed by the energy and immediacy present in this exhibition, and its powerful expression of making art in a time of chaos'.
Abad's solo exhibition To Those Sitting in Darkness at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford includes drawing, etchings and sculptures which have been combined to 'ask questions of museums', according to the jury.

He also references the museum’s collection including a deer-hide hanging, which belonged to the father of Pocahontas, along with the disputed Benin Bronzes that have sat in various collections in the UK.
The 40-year-old, who works in London, reflects on colonial history and growing up in the Philippines where his parents struggled against authoritarianism.
'In the Turner Prize's 40th year, this shortlist proves that British artistic talent is as rich and vibrant as ever,' Mr Farquharson added.
An exhibition of the shortlisted work will be held at Tate Britain from September 25 to February 16.
The winner will be announced at an award ceremony at Tate Britain on December 3.
Pottery maker Sir Grayson Perry, film director and visual artist Sir Steve McQueen and artist Damien Hirst are among those who have picked up the prize.
