Eltham College Student Shortlisted for Sovereign Art Foundation Student Prize 2024
We are delighted to share that Grace, one of our talented Year 13 students, has been shortlisted as a finalist for the Sovereign Art Foundation (SAF) Student Prize, London 2024.
Grace’s artwork, Η μοίρα της Ανδρομέδας (The Fate of Andromeda), is inspired by the Greek myth of Andromeda. It offers a thoughtful commentary on how women were perceived and represented in ancient history. The piece is made up of intricate tiles, each telling part of Andromeda’s story. Symbolic details include a snake, reflecting the perception of Eve as impressionable and manipulative, and a dropped tile featuring an apple, representing a break from this narrative.
As a finalist, Grace’s artwork will be showcased at the Finalists’ Exhibition at Phillips Auction House, Berkeley Square, London, from 16-19 December. The artworks will be auctioned or sold, with 50% of the proceeds going to the artist and the other 50% supporting charitable initiatives. This year, funds will benefit Latimer Community Art Therapy (LCAT), an organisation providing accessible mental health support and community services through art therapy.
