2010 & 2011 Award Designed By Michael Joo

The 2010 & 2011 CleanEquity Awards were designed by Michael Joo. Michael Joo, chosen by previous award designer Damien Hirst, was born to Korean parents. He first studied and now lives in New York. Informed by his interests in science, his work refers continually to the natural world. Sculpture is a promenent medium for his art.

Note from the artist

"The piece I made for the CleanEquity Monaco award is based on the form of a quartz crystal. These crystals represent clean organic energy and growth; they are optimistic and hopeful. I have used a compass to support the crystal because growth is nothing without direction and a draughtsman's compass; the rolls of masking tape represent direction and scientific strength. The pencil the 3rd leg to hold up the crystal; to me the pencil represents ideas. CleanEquity is about ideas. The beetle represents life, longevity and natural engineering; these too are all CleanEquity attributes."

2008 & 2009 Award Designed By Damien Hirst

The 2008 & 2009 CleanEquity Awards were designed by Damien Hirst. Damien Hirst is an English artist and the most prominent member of the group known as "Young British Artists". He is internationally renowned and his consistently visceral, visually arresting works has made him a leading artist of his generation.
