Surreal Estates has been delivered in partnership between The Box and Arts University Plymouth. It connects with the Forbidden Territories: 100 Years of Surreal Landscapes exhibition which is currently wowing our visitors (until 7 September) and which features a wide range of work by some of the most influential artistic and literary figures of the 1900s.
Surreal Estates encouraged children and young people from Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset to submit work in any medium using a surrealist technique such as collage or photomontage. Entries were open in four different categories: Early Years, Primary, Secondary and 18-25 and we received more than 260 submissions. Find out more.
Our winners were:
• Early Years – Leo Simo
• Primary – Ebren French
• Secondary – Emily Downer
• 18-25 – Salwa Kamali
We also had a number of ‘Highly Commended’ entries:
• Early Years – Arlo Argent and Mila Stolarska-Clark
• Primary – Juliette and Charlotte Barrett and Hope Bates
• Secondary – Tosin Osibini and River Markland
• 18-25 – Louis Perry and Tegan Churchill
Surreal Estates also includes a small display of artwork by Surrealists in the South West featuring loans from Falmouth Art Gallery by Lee Miller, Roland Penrose and Eileen Agar and works by Cecil Collins from The Box’s art collection.
