STUDENTS and administrators of the Burrowes School of Art have mounted an exhibition to showcase various arts and craft done by young, aspiring artists, who recently graduated from the school. According to Administrator of the institution, Mr. Ivor Thom, the exhibition will be an annual feature for students to display their works to the public. Some of the magnificent pieces that were exhibited included ceramics, paintings, graphic arts, sculptures and craft—testimony to the talent of young Guyanese.
Thom noted that with proper exposure, these young artists could have a bright future ahead of them and added his gratitude to the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony, for making the undertaking a possibility.
The Minister, in brief comments, commended the artists for the great work that they have done on these pieces and noted that some of these exhibits could be entered in the upcoming Visual Arts competition.
The Chronicle spoke to several of the artists and the common theme was the hard work and effors that went into producing the pieces. The artists added that production of the exhibits was time-consuming, but in the end they managed to complete their respective pieces without any problems.
Additionally, one of the outstanding artists, Kwesi Archer, who graduated this year from the Burrowes School of Art, is expected to launch a comic book soon, which he promises will be very interesting, but still fun to read.
