Vibrancy and Contrast - Jasmine Morgan.
Description
500x500mm. Unframed. Acrylic. ARTIST STATEMENT: This piece is part of a study on colour in the natural world. I used flowers as they are symbolic in many different cultures, and naturally come in lots of bright varieties. However, I wanted to make the flowers I used as part of this particularly vibrant, so I painted on them with unnatural colours and then photographed them before painting them in acrylic paint. This particular daffodil was my favourite because it naturally is quite bright and its robust petals stood up well to the paint. The work is a fusion of the traditional and the modern, which could either be seen as the young overtaking the old or the young honouring traditions depending on which way you look at it. There is a rebellious nature to the work but a lot of care has also been taken to recreate the details of the daffodil in a traditional style. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Aged 17 when this piece was created. Shortlisted for SAF Students Prize in 2020 and 2021. Art for Guernsey Scholarship Winner in 2020.

This auction is being run under the supervision of Martel Maides Auctions and by taking part you will be bound by their general auction terms and conditions, available at www.martelmaidesauctions.com. In addition, please note that:
1) Several pieces in this auction form part of a student’s active GCSE or A Level portfolio and the original must remain in the possession of the school until the examination has finished. In these cases, a replica piece will be provided to the buyer until it can be exchanged with the original piece. These pieces are identified in the individual Lot descriptions.
2) Several pieces in this auction are shortlisted for the Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize Guernsey. Should a lot win either the Judges’ Prize or Public Prize in this national competition, it will automatically be enrolled in the Sovereign Global Students Prize; the buyer will have to agree for the piece to be available for display at the Global Students Prize Exhibition, scheduled to take place in Q1 2022. The Sovereign Art Foundation will organise the collection and return of the artwork in this instance.
