Now that the awards have been presented, there’s only one thing left to do. Celebrate! It’s time for the after-party. Well, almost. Photo time then party time!
A big well done to all of the shortlisted artists and a big thank-you to all those who involved in the organisation of what has been a truly inspiring evening!
Congratulations! And to all of the other artists too. The work on show tonight has been truly inspiring.
In case you were wondering about their interesting designs, the trophies are plain so that the artists can paint and mould them themselves. This idea is for the shortlisted artists to come back together in ten years time and show their creations. I’ll see you at the Soho in ten years then…
Lluis’ photography career began when his scuba-diving career in the waters off the coast of Barcelona ended but his former career continues to influence him in The Beach, which was shot on the very same beach.
Tim’s former housemate has collected the award on his behalf.
Claudio belief that there is a connection between the eye, soul and mind is really quite evident in his stunning work. He can’t be here unfortunately.
Heather’s work is about the way that people interact with their surroundings.
Heather can’t be here tonight because she’s finishing a course in sculpture in Edinburgh so Karen’s accepted her second award of the night!
Toby’s photography has been celebrated with many awards already and, watching the slideshow of his work, I’m really not surprised. This collection, called the Fallen Series, is a surreal interpretation of childhood.
Turns out that Toby used to work as a sausage-maker just up the road from us here at the Soho Theatre. I’m pleased that he’s here for his beautiful and thought-provoking work this time!
Eitan’s made good use of his Bsc in anthropology in his work, which is about how the natural reaction of people in interesting places. My personal favourite is of a man cellotaped to a door.
Zi Xi Tan finds beauty in the vernacular and the everday. There’s a really strong message behind this particular series, which is about failure and never giving up.
