'Heroes'

At the beginning of this year I partnered with Bedford School (my old school), to create the 'Art for Good Award', whereby I would select a sixth-form student who showed significant artistic promise and an ambition for a future in the arts, to create a collaborative painting with.

In May, I returned to the classroom to invite Sean Winward of year 13 to carry out the prize.

The painting depicts two boys dressed as the icon duo of Batman & Robin. Sean uses bold, vibrant brush strokes to compose the figures and foreground, whilst Freddie constructs the muted background and masks the boys’ faces with his signature eye. The piece explores themes of partnership, collaboration and fearlessness when breaking the mould in the pursuit of individuality. In this case- Sean’s artistic talent and ambition. 

The sale price will be shared in full between the Movember charity, in support of men's health, and Sean to aid his artistic studies.
