About
Our Joan Day bursary has been awareded to Alex Anughe.
South Square is delighted to announce that our Joan Day Bursary has been awarded to Alex Anaughe. We’re so excited to work with Alex to produce her first solo exhibition which will be opening on 2nd August 2024!!
Alex is a Bradford based artist with a Greek-Nigerian heritage, that explores black culture and her own identity within her paintings. She paints featureless portraits that often make cultural references to music, symbols and social narratives that draw upon her unique background. Alex predominantly uses oil and acrylic paints to play with bold colours and texture, which bring her works to life.
A huge thank you to our amazing panel, Nancy Steadman, Razwan Ul-Haq and Patrick Whitehead Apothecary Gallery.
The Joan Day Bursary was founded in 2006 in memory of Joan Day. Joan was a highly skilled painter who lived and worked in the West Yorkshire region for much of her life. This annual bursary is awarded to an emerging artist who shows an enthusiasm for working in paint.
