Work by Hannah Hill

What have our recent alumni been up to over the last few months since the degree show??

Since the Art School was tapped by the Guardian as one of the must-see BA Shows to spot rising stars (and certainly it was a very popular show with lots of great feedback) our 2017 graduates have been busy.

What we have heard about so far..

Oli Epp, was picked out by GQ Magazine as one of the young UK artists to invest in early! http://www.gq- magazine.co.uk/article/investing-in-art-uk and indeed he sold out his Degree Show with a waiting list. One of Oli’s self-portraits was acquired for the Ruth Borchard Next Generation Collection, joining the likes of Tracey Emin and others.. and he is now on a residency in Spain with solo shows coming up in  the New Year..

Luc Nonga had a solo show ‘In Transit’ at ‘The Store’ at  Dulwich College and has been working from a sponsored studio in recent months with his work also selected for the Clyde & Co exhibition among others..

Hannah Hill appeared on an hour long BBC Woman’s Hour special discussing her grime culture inspired embroideries. She has a huge following on instagram and is going from strength to strength..

Jeanette Gunnarsson has been busy showing her work in a collaborative installation at the White Conduit Projects and at the Peckham International Art Fair. She is also working as an assistant curator with Kristian Day

Lucas Dupuy is enjoying his 1 year residency at Acme studios (the City & Guilds of London Art School Acme Studio Award) that comes with a £7000 materials grant and has also just won the Clyde & Co Art Award  main prize of another £5000 – big congratulations Lucas!

Graduates from Fine Art in summer 2016 are also doing very well with Amanda Mostrom (former recipient of the Acme Studio Award) and Tom Platt now showing in the 2017 Bloomberg New Contemporaries that will be moving to Block 336 in January. This is the first time that this major exhibition has been shown at an independent artist run gallery space and at the City & Guilds of London Art School we are delighted to see that this great gallery initiative led by our own alumni including Fine Art tutor Jane Hayes Greenwood is being recognised in this way!

more news to come….
