Summer Exhibition Guide 2016

CREATIVE REVIEW: A LOOK BACK AT 2015

Since its launch, IN:SIGHT has taken on a life of its own, and I invite you to read more about two of our favourite ‘success stories’ in the coming pages. As with any project, its ongoing relevance and credibility will depend on our determination as a Creative Team to evolve and grow with it. Keen to start as we mean to go on, we approached the selection process with a view to leaving our comfort zone behind and immersing ourselves in art that is not currently represented within our existing portfolio. As a result, this exhibition comprises a vast array of mediums, styles and subject matter; an amalgamation that one would normally not expect to see curated into one display. Arguably, we have inadvertently initiated and adopted a genre of our own, one that challenges and delights in equal measure. Thematically, ethics, politics and charity are all represented for the first time this year, and we are also seeing fresh processes take their place in the final line- up, from the application of decommissioned weaponry to paint in water suspensions captured and engineered through cutting edge digital media. In the spirit of a traditional Summer Exhibition, our artists hail from all walks of life, and each bring something different to the table. The standard of submissions this year has been exceptional, and the final display has the vivid colour and explosive energy that one would expect from a Summer Exhibition. We are very excited to gauge visitors’ reactions to the assemblage, and see what lies in store for the artists in the coming months and years.
