Generation - Joseph Salmon.
180x230mm Framed Lino-Print. ARTIST STATEMENT: As part of our Y10 coursework, we studied lino-printing and were asked to plan and print a reduction print. I decided to challenge myself with a portrait of my Granddad who is an Artist. I looked at Steve Bennetts lino-prints for inspiration and technique. Bennett often uses the contrast of orange and blues in his prints which I enjoyed recreating in my print. ABOUT THE ARTIST: This piece is Shortlisted in the 2021 Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize in Guernsey. Joseph created this piece aged 15 while studying at St Sampson's High School.

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.
