The Royal Academy Schools’ ‘Premiums: Interim Projects’ exhibition showcasing students’ work, includes various pieces produced using Epson large-format printers installed at the on-site Digital Media Suite sponsored by the company.
All the students have worked with Epson’s large-format printer and/or projectors at some time during their course. Included in the exhibition are works by:
Anna Hughes: who creates two and three-dimensional compositions using paintings, found materials and sculptural objects, such as driftwood and stone. Her works include a series of large format digital prints on canvas and cotton (pictured).
Elliot Dodd: whose work stretches from 3D computer design, sculpture, drawing, print and sound. It is through his experimentation with various technologies that he is able to develop his work. His ‘Prototype’ piece is produced using digitally printed steel sheets.
Alana Francis: who researches and produces works that are inspired by digital sources and produced using their technologies. Her digitally printed origami paper forms part of her ‘Folded Letter’ (Paper Kayak) work.
Mark Hampson, head of materials process, RA Schools said: “The RA Schools Premiums exhibition once again illustrates the fantastic symbiosis of creativity that the Epson-sponsored collaboration with our students creates. It highlights the important roles that digital technologies and expertise naturally hold for this generation of emerging contemporary artists.”
The ‘Premiums: Interim Projects’ exhibition runs at the Royal Academy of Arts in London until 11 March.
