This signifies the renewal I felt after 2020 was over and I conquered a negative mindset, finally starting to disregard what others think, prioritising my mental wellbeing and learning many life lessons. In the painting, I am engulfed in flowers that from seedlings, begin to bloom larger as they climb higher on the body, until eventually, the petals around my shoulders start peeling, flying into the horizon.
Overgrowth is an empowered self-portrait that represents my mental progress in the past two years, capturing the progression of self-realisation. This exhibition highlights the NGV’s strong commitment to arts education, as well as its role as a platform for young people to express their diverse ideas, attitudes and beliefs. This year’s exhibitors were selected based on key criteria including conceptual development, technical excellence, aesthetic considerations, awareness of past and contemporary art practices, individuality and innovation. The exhibition includes reflections on identity, time, home, social issues and our connection to the natural world. Showcasing the exceptional work of students who have completed VCE Art or Studio Arts in 2021, the exhibition highlights the resilience and creativity of young artists, who have used art and design to explore and understand the world around them.Ĭomprising work selected from applicants across Victoria, the exhibition encompasses a range of media, including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, digital and mixed media. For 28 years, the NGV’s annual Top Arts exhibition has celebrated the artistic dynamism and creative vitality of young Victorians.
