Island Young Artists At Saatchi Gallery

Thursday, 6th March, 2008 at 11:08 am, Isle of Wight

The Arts, Ventnor, Youth

http://ventnorblog.com/9to13-medina-high-school-exhibition/It’s not just Quay Arts who have artistic creations by Isle of Wight students adorning their walls.

Little did we know when hosting VentnorBlog Presents … at the Bonchurch Manor Hotel that such artistic talent was right under our noses.

We hear from proud parents of Medina High School student, Ananya Middleton-Rao that her work has been selected, along with other students from the Island to be displayed in none other than the Saatchi gallery in London.

Wow, what an amazing accolade.

Being a year 10 student, Ananya is the youngest from Medina to have her work selected.

There are other Ventnor students among in the list of those chosen, including year 12 student, Mhairi Macaulay.

We also see from the online portfolio works submitted by talented students from St George’s School.

Well done to you all and keep up the good work.

    the piece looks excellent and having seen some real young talented artists on the island would like to see more of the above-and at quay arts,

    personally would state,imo, that the younger artists consistently show burgeoning talent far in advance of the majority of the accredited art world with the exception of approx.3 artists who rise above and can stand above the usual who’s who of society and psuedo-intellectual sentiment of the self-obsessed peccadilloes of the bourgoisie at play.
