Student Neo-Expressionism at Pop Up Show

Among works on display at tonight’s Pop Up art show at the Westport Arts Center was this one by Sam Agnew, 18, of Westport who graduated from Greens Farms Academy today and shared an art prize with fellow student, Allison Carey, 18. The painting, “Frederick attempts to understand a banana,” is a Neo-Expressionist exploration of the surreal imagery of his dreams. Sam, who will enter the five-year combined degree progam at Tufts University and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in the fall, is among 45 high school students from Fairfield and Westchester Counties chosen to exhibit their works at the iCreate exhibition at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich beginning Saturday.
