Kaye Song Wins

The National Open Art competition has been won by 18-year-old Londoner Kaye Song with her oil painting Asleep, the final project of her A-level coursework. It's the first time she's entered an art competition, inspired by the chance of exhibiting at the Royal College of Art. The winners were chosen by public vote. Another 18-year-old student, Phoebe Atkey, came third with an impressive cityscape of New York. Professional cartoonist Patrick Blower took second place (CLICK). The show of 134 artworks opens at the Royal College of Art on 21 October.
