The President’s Choice Award
A prize of £750.

Winner: Jack Candy-Kemp - ‘I’m Still in Love with Phoebe Cates’

“If I had to narrow down my practice to one word, it would be travel.

Travel is the root and touchstone to my practice. Looking at the liminal spaces between destinations, I want to portray the reflective nature and the exhaustion that comes when travelling. Through art making I aim to depict multiple elements to the experiential side of travel, responding to how we share the contemporary travel image through painting.

Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram have given people the opportunity to share every moment, putting images into a formatted frame for the world to see and even pinpointing the time and place in which the photo was taken.

“Technology. The Internet, camera cell phones and the like have not only sped up the world’s information uptake, but they have cheapened that which they capture.” (Rollins, 2011)

Through painting I aim to mimic the imagery we see and share in the ‘camera cell phone’ era without the sensualisation of location. I use Gouache for its matte finish as it opposes the glossy appearance in which modern travel imagery is shared. I aim to describe the exhaustion which comes with travelling through painting images of the rundown un-homely places we come into contact with between destinations.

I want my work to challenge the way we visualise the contemporary tourist experience and destroy the contrived rose-tinted imagery that we are subjected to on a day-to-day basis. My aim is to create images that cause the audience to reflect on their own experiences without the need to pinpoint place and time.”

Part Two of ‘Things I liked at the @royalacademyarts Summer Exhibition’ and a bit of the Young Artists Summer Exhibition too!

Featuring my daughter with her wolf painting and special mention to Bacon Forest which I can’t tag as it is by a 5 year old child but was genuinely our favourite out of pretty much everything 😂
