NEW SENSATIONS: A CHANNEL 4 PRIZE FOR SAATCHI ONLINE 2010 UK GRADUATES

Wade Stephens
'Sam'

	Year Created:	2008
	Image Dimensions:	4'x3'
	Artwork description:	Oil on canvas. This was the first portrait of its kind in my practice as I intended to capture just the soul of the sitter and free the work of any gestures or meaning; a portrait in its purest form. This is now the driving force of my practise.

MUSEUM ATTENDANCE FIGURES

The Art Newspaper has published its international survey of 2010 museum attendance figures, and our three exhibitions last year have been ranked as the second, third and fourth most visited in London, surpassed only by Van Gogh at the Royal Academy of Arts. This follows on from The Art Newspaper's 2009 ranking in which the Saatchi Gallery presented the top two most visited exhibitions in London.
