CREATIVE REVIEW
Now in its fourth year, IN:SIGHT has established itself as a bastion of breaking talent, and has attracted more emerging and established artists this year than ever before. Diverse, committed and accomplished, each and every exhibitor is a worthy finalist. It is a great source of pride for all concerned to present this year’s line-up, whose collective talent and commitment has allowed us to curate our Summer Exhibition 2018. Through the past twelve months of momentous political, social and cultural changes globally, art has proved a constant; a warmly welcomed source of stability and solace. As such, much has been reported by key industry figures that highlights the resilience of the art market in the face of such an uncertain climate. We will undoubtedly continue to see compelling exhibitions throughout the remainder of the year in response to – or, arguably, in defiance of – the ongoing issues we face as a global community. Thematically, commemoration will endure, with 2018 being the anniversary of many moments that changed the course of modern day history, from suffrage to the end of WWI. Whilst on the subject of past events, I invite you to read more about our ‘success stories’ from last year’s Summer Exhibition in the coming pages. It is extremely heartening to see artists come through our Creative Review programme and proceed to achieve the recognition they deserve from critics and collectors alike. I envisage equal success for the artists featured in this year’s Summer Exhibition, and I look forward to revisiting their achievements this time next year.
