Artist’s brutal honesty nets him top prize
Mantas Poderys, a former pupil at St Eunan’s College and Letterkenny Vocational School, won the top prize of €2,000 in the 16-18-year-old category
The head of the judging panel, Professor Declan McGonagle, said the 18-year-old could justifiably be regarded as one of Ireland’s foremost young artists.
