🏆 Celebrating Our Open Studios Week 2 Winners! 🏆
Weekend 2 was a whirlwind of creativity across Stockwell Road, Grafton Quarter, and Streatham Hill. We are thrilled to announce our four standout winners! Because Stockwell Road is such a massive hub of talent, we’ve selected two winners from that site.
Each winner receives a £125 art materials voucher from our sponsor Cass Art and a spot in our August Summer Exhibition at The Handbag Factory, with a chance to win the £1,000 first prize!
🏆 Meet the Winners:
✨Isabel Rock
@isabelrockartist | ASC Stockwell Road
Isabel creates contemporary fairy tales using a unique woodblock collage technique and intricate pen drawings. Her surreal narratives are inspired by her global travels and environmental activism.
✨Justine Formentelli
@jformentelli | ASC Stockwell Road
Informed by a childhood in the Caribbean, Morocco, and Réunion Island, Justine’s work investigates the porous boundaries between inner and outer landscapes, shaped by a life across shifting geographies.
✨José Rafael Mendes
@joserafaelcmendes | ASC Grafton Quarter
Born in Lisbon, José explores the "in-between" of imagination and longing. His paintings serve as a stage for invented dramas, blurring the lines between selfhood, memory, and fiction.
✨Marc Elmes
@marcelmesartwork | ASC Streatham Hill
Marc’s practice is deeply rooted in South London, producing visually rich and ornamental pieces. His work carries a "carnivalesque" spirit, blending modern installations with ancient mythical themes.
