Top Arts 2024: 30 Years of Young Artistic Talent
Advertisement
The artworks featured in Top Arts 2024 were chosen for their strong conceptual development, imagination, individuality, and technical excellence, spanning various mediums including painting, sculpture, video, and photography. From traditional pieces to daring new forms, the exhibition explores themes such as chaos, space, perception, and repetition.
One notable piece is Harrison Lucas’ detailed fiber-tipped pen drawing, “Dreaded Imaginary Expectations,” which challenges perceptions of internalised fears. Similarly, Anne Fo’s “City of Lights” captures intimate moments within crowded urban spaces, while Milly Borrack’s “A Prayer to the Urban World” pays homage to urban landscapes through makeshift shrines.

Georgina Richards’ cyanotype series, “Swallowing the Pretence,” and Jorja Kavellaris’ “Alexia” offer unique perspectives on memory and experience, while Lucas Taylor’s video work, “Routine,” and Campbell Jensen Bainbridge’s photography explores the impact of repetition in our lives.
Traditional painting techniques are also celebrated in Top Arts 2024, with artists like Hugo Brunton and Evelyn Noone showcasing their respective styles with charm and innovation.
Complementing the exhibition are curriculum-aligned programs and resources for students and teachers, including talks and online resources. Top Arts continues to attract a diverse audience and remains a benchmark for excellence in art education.
