ArtGrad Artist Steve Baker – has Ambition!

He is hoping to exhibit at The Florence Biennale which takes place from 30th Nov - 8th Dec 2013 and be present throughout the event.

He also has his sights set on the Izmir Bienal is on from 30th April 2013 to 5th May 2013 

The Florence event allows each artist to obtain 3 sponsors to cover the costs estimated at approx 2772 euros. It would be a good way of promoting his work but as a starving artist the costs might be prohibitive – can you help?? In any small way at all??

New to ArtGrad from Loughborough University - Sarah Torr

Sarah Torr is a final year student at Loughborough University studying Fine Art.

Sarah’s current work focuses on exploring geometric form through contemporary architecture. Architecture has always interested her. She is particularly interested in the contrasts between strong powerful lines, soft curves and the restful spaces in-between. Concentrating on the repetition of print, using the silkscreen processes, Sarah explored this development of line and form within architecture. Silk-screening onto acetate allowed her to layer up prints to create a 3D effect.
