I was chosen to participate in the Art business Society exhibition, held on 31st May 2024. 8 students were selected out 160 entries and I was lucky to be amongst them. The event included an interactive panel discussion with 3 leading art auctioneers and curators – Simon De Pury (founder of de PURY), Philip Hoffman (founder of Fine Art group) and Millie Jason Foster (founder of Gillian Jason Gallery). Each panelist bringing their insight into, navigating the world of contemporary art. This was followed by a showcase exhibition and mixer in which my work was displayed.
My project is an interdisciplinary series of works exploring trauma, memories and spiritual ideas of redemption and the afterlife. Initiated from 2022 to 2024, a series of abstract works explored the reminiscence of memory and the essence of the human condition. The individual pieces were created in an experiment towards allowing the audience to contemplate their own lives through the lens of the artist’s brush strokes and forms, drawing the viewer inwards not just towards the art but also themselves. The culmination of this project aimed to create an exhibition that transcends the interaction with individual pieces towards an experience that may be described as almost meditative and transport the participant into the spaces often unvisited within their journey as living being of a present time.
