Success at the Annual Atwell Youth Awards Exhibition
The winners of the 15th Annual Atwell Youth Awards Exhibition were announced last night, and five Iona students were recognised for their artistic talent.
Izabella Burger: Highly Commended Award
Abbi Hammond: Artist Merit Award
Lauren Fleming: Curator's Pick Award
Indigo Bauchup: Highly Commended Award
Zoe Sydney: Best in Show Award
The Gillian Kaye Peebles Award of Excellence for 2017 went to Zoe Sydney for her oil on canvas triptych 'Morning Ritual'.
The judges commented, "This triptych is an exemplary work, displaying excellence in every criteria. Technically and structurally sophisticated beyond the years of a 'student' artist, it brings the audience into her personal realm with great clarity, allowing us to be observers of human habits, without any suggestion of voyeurism. Congratulations Zoe, on your outstanding contribution to this prestigious exhibition."
The art is on display at the Atwell Arts Centre and Gallery from 1pm Saturday 10 June until 2pm Thursday 22 June.
