The Graduate Art Prize

The following are the three pieces on the list.

You will come to life (50cm x 70cm x 30cm)
Up on shoulder (50cm x 77cm x 33cm)
The fall (35cm x 31cm x 14cm)

Founded in 2013, the Graduate Art Prize was set up with the direct aim of introducing young artists directly to the corporate art market, providing another means of supporting them and helping get their careers off the ground, away from the traditional gallery route.

The award was first set up in 2013 by art consultants ARTIQ(Formerly Works in Print), together with the London office of global law firm Herbert Smith Freehills. ARTIQ created the event together with Herbert Smith Freehills and administers it, whilst Herbert Smith Freehills is the event sponsor and also showcases the finalists in a prestigious private view and exhibition.

The winner receives a £1,000 cash prize and all shortlisted artists will get the opportunity to sign with ARTIQ, an innovative art consultancy with a variety of clients ranging from large international corporates to collectors who have a keen interest in emerging, talented artists.

It is an honour to be given a great opportunity as I finish the MA Fine Art at the Chelsea College of Art. The winner of the prize will be chosen by public vote and announced at an exclusive event on 8th November, so please view and enjoy the work in the gallery or online, and I would appreciate your participation. The exhibition will then be on display until November.

After PAF 2016

PAF July 2016 wrap up.
Many people visited despite the sweltering weather, and time of enjoyment meeting both great artists and their works. During this year’s fair, I introduced bronze and aluminum pieces. Though metal casting requires great exertion and time, my time at the fair was valuable and fulfilling because the pieces were introduced to people. Thank you.

A message from Foundry in the Chelsea 3D workshops

I received an email from Craft Ontario recently notifying me that I was awarded with Craft Ontario Volunteer Committee Award from Craft Ontario Council. And I will be part of Craft Ontario commemorating their 40th anniversary Exhibition.
While I cannot personally attend the show because I am currently residing in London preparing for the degree show, but my very first bronze piece created in London, “I will follow him (2016)” will be exhibited at the show.

I also took photos with them after patination and finishing process prior to shipping to Canada. I want to give my thanks to my loving family and friends, colleagues, and Craft Ontario who has given me this precious award and an opportunity for exhibition.
 

Parallax Art Fair July 2016

Briefly after I arrived in London, I received a mail from Tom Moore who is a manager at Parallax Art Fair London. He had seen my work through Craft Ontario’s homepage and Instagram, and that he is interested in my work and made an offer for me to participate at the PAF 2016 in July. I thought that it would be a good opportunity for my work to be introduced, get new feedbacks, and meet various artists from Europe. Most of all, it would be a new experience at an unfamiliar place where there will be new inspirations, and I decided to participate and started preparing for the fair.

I want to give my special thanks to Craft Ontario. I was encouraged through various awards, and nourished to mature into an artist outside of school. Also, my work was exposed and received publicity through Craft Ontario’s media channels, and thank you for opening doors for other potentials.
