ESOP Online Exhibition – 14th August to 14th November 2020

Welcome to the 2020 End of Year Online student exhibition of the Essential School of Painting (ESOP). This is the first time that we have done an online exhibition and we are very excited about it. Looking back this academic year presented a variety of challenges for the students from working in our studio to changing to online learning. With the advent of COVID 19 the artists-students have had to rapidly adapt to working in relative isolation.

Some of the artists had studios to work from; many had to create working spaces in their homes adapting kitchens, stores and living rooms into functioning studios. Considering the myriad of challenges they have faced we,the staff and teaching faculty, are proud of what they have accomplished this year culminating in this online exhibition.

In this exhibition we have over 400 artworks on display spread over 23 galleries. Within each gallery there is an exhibition catalogue for your reference.
