Student work on display at prestigious art show Published on: 30 November 2018 Piece by 缅北禁地 Fine Art student Andrew Watson is on show at The Royal Institute of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition 2018 until 9 December Hidden beauty has a well-earned reputation for attracting highly exciting young exhibitors, alongside much admired and more established member artists. Andrew, who is in his fourth year at 缅北禁地, is exhibting his painting Rubble. “I’m delighted to be part of this exhibition," he said. " It is a fantastic honour for me to show my work here amongst such a fantastic array of oil painters. "The aim of this painting, is to unveil the hidden beauty of an initially tarnished sight. The subtle complexity and irregularity renders this space into something quite beautiful. As the conglomeration of forgotten objects grow, there is this loss of focus on the individual - each object tells its own story, and once had its own purpose - now discarded on a studio floor, they emit a chorus of colour and atmosphere. I do hope many can attend for what will be a great exhibition." Detail of Chorus of Colour by Andrew Watson Material, style and content The show gives visitors the opportunity to see the many and varied ways in which artists use oil paint today, from a traditional approach to this highly technical media through to more innovative uses of material, style and content.
