Goldsmiths BA Fine Art grad Issy Wood was the "first and only pick" to paint a new portrait of Charli xcx for the cover of Vanity Fair. Known for paintings of objects and moments from contemporary life, Wood graduated from Goldsmiths in 2015. Her work was the subject of a major early career solo show at Goldsmiths CCA in 2019. 👏👏👏
It’s been nearly 20 years since Vanity Fair last presented an art-themed issue. For its return, we’ve featured @charli_xcx on the November cover—and commissioned London-based painter Issy Wood to create a portrait inspired by her career, lyrics, and their shared Britishness. 🔗: vanityfair.com/culture/story…

From today we’re rolling out a year of 120th anniversary celebrations, events and initiatives which mark how our community has shaped culture and society. We’re kicking things off with a specially-commissioned spoken-word piece by one of our students.
Today is a special day in our history, marking exactly 120 years since we opened our doors as a university on 29 September 1905. Now as then, we're recognising the contribution our students and staff make to society by turning knowledge into action.
On 31 October, see Philip Pullman and Michael Rosen in conversation at Goldsmiths. Discussing their storytelling and The Rose Field: The Book of Dust Volume Three. 📌 5.30pm, Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre, Goldsmiths, £20 gold.ac.uk/calendar/?id=1561…
