Students selected to exhibit at the Royal Academy of Arts

The Royal Academy of Arts have selected artwork submissions by two of our Upper Sixth students for the Royal Academy Young Artists’ exhibition. 

Poppy Sendell and Abbie Green have had their work selected for the online exhibition from over 17,000 entries. However the excitement doesn’t end there; they have also been selected for the Royal Academy Young Artists’ on-site exhibition. The RA are hoping that the exhibition will take place in the autumn depending on the situation with Covid-19.

Poppy’s sculptural performance piece investigates the perception of the female form and our societal attitudes. As part of the performance a model wore the piece on the Underground and in the supermarket to challenge viewers’ thinking. Abbie’s ceramic sculpture is inspired by the continuity and change in buildings when overcome by both man-made and natural degradation.
