Saatchi show won by tree trunk artist

Artist Eugene Scrase has won the School of Saatchi programme with her tree trunk impaled on a length of fence.

The 20-year-old from Buckingham beat five finalists to win a place in art mogul Charles Saatchi’s current show and studio space for three years.

Matt Clark also caught the eye of Saatchi and has been asked to create work for his show next year.

French-born Scrase called the outcome “mind-blowing” and thanked Saatchi for providing the opportunity.

Her artwork, Trunkated Trunk, has been on show at the Hermitage in St Petersburg, Russia, since October, but has now been acknowledged as her piece.  FULL STORY
