Joanna Maberly and Georgie Seymour were awarded Highly Commended at the annual prize giving of the Anna Airey Award Exhibition, for artists aged 16-20.
Several College students presented work from the AS element of their A Level, against stiff competition from other local schools and Sixth Form Colleges. Joanna presented two films, the first time the competition has accepted films; one titled “Nostalgia” and called “Shell Shock”. Georgie presented her beautiful painting “Lily”, a large scale portrait, painted with great skill using lollipop sticks.
Other pieces on display from our students were elements photographs by Alex Dabbs, a film piece about a walk in the woods by Oli Catford, a complex abstract painting by Zuza Markovska together with her precision observational painting of a rose, a pointillism large scale painting by Beatrice Heaton, a ballet shoes drawing by Molly Barnard, mixed media photographic paintings by Amy Walker, a comic book inspired painting by Kieran Wilson and photographic montage images by Indigo Hornsby Cox.
