We’re pleased to share that three members of Leeds Print Workshop have this year become SCAF Emerging Artist Award finalists.
The Scott Creative Arts Foundation Emerging Artist Award has been created to acknowledge up and coming artists of all ages who are living in the Yorkshire region. The intent of the award is to bring recognition and awareness to outstanding visual artists in the region who are at the early stages of their career and who have not yet established a reputation as an artist amongst art curators, buyers and critics.
Vanessa Oo creates small ‘families’ of screen prints by placing together abstract drawn elements in different combinations. The compositions are instinctive: she is interested in the tensions and relationships created by the interactions.
Becky Long-Smith works as an artist, visual story-teller and educator. Her multi-disciplinary practice most often involves print and collage. The starting point for much of her work is natural phenomena and the complex human relationship with nature.
Imo Dunkley is an artist based in Leeds, working in a studio at Assembly House in Armley. Her work celebrates nightlife spaces in Leeds, emphasising the vital part they play in facilitating identity formation, creativity and community building.
