ESOP End of Year Student Online Exhibition 2021

Welcome to our online gallery of the work made by the students of the Essential School of Painting for the academic year of 2020-21. This academic year has presented a variety of challenges to our students from working both online and in studio to travelling to and from our studio or travelling out of town on group projects within the restrictions and regulations presented by COVID. The Artist-tutors and admin team of the ESOP would like to express a hearty congratulations to all our students for all the work they have singularly and as a group produced.

Please note this coming November we will have the physical exhibition of this exhibition where you can come along and see some of the work and more in the flesh.

About Andrew Wamae

Andrew Wamae is the Director and co-founder of the Essential School of Painting (ESOP). He has a deeply held belief in the power of art to transform lives and society, and a particular interest in exploring new models for art education beyond school; championing the twin ideals of excellence and affordability in a highly pressurised sector when university fees are soaring and student/ tutor contact time is at an all time low. Andrew is particularly keen to ensure that the visual arts continue to be supported and thrive well. A creative, innovative and visionary professional, Andrew, in conjunction with his co-founder Alison Harper, has transformed the Essential School of Painting from humble beginnings to an established institution holding from one-day to year-long courses and workshops for all levels of experience; from beginners to postgraduate and professional artists. He has managed to enlist the support of a long list of celebrated artists from multiple fields in the creative industry to teach or lecture at the school or in their studios.
