Connor P has been named a finalist for the 2024 Young Archie Art Prize. His piece, \u2018A boy called Dean,\u2019 was selected in the 16-18 year old category from over 4,000 entries for this prestigious national art competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hung upside down to catch the audience’s attention, Connor shares that his intention for the artwork was to \u201cshed light on the unseen and innocent parts of the teenage male stereotype. Despite looking tough, Dean is one of the most sensitive and caring people I know.\u201d Connor shares. \u201cI\u2019ve hung it upside down to make the audience stop, and hopefully turn their head to better understand the work. To look and think differently about the teenage experience. To flip what we know on its head.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing a finalist in the Young Archie has been an aspiration of mine since I began painting a couple of years ago, so to realise that is amazing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connor was also recently announced as the winner of the 2024 Oxley College 2024 Portrait Prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
