RBA RISING STARS, produced in partnership with the Royal Society of British Artists, showcases the extraordinary talent of 40 artists shortlisted for RBA Rome Scholarship 2023.
This exhibition captures creativity in the moment and showcases the trajectory of what is yet to come in contemporary art practice from the relative viewpoint of the present day. Amongst other awards for the finalists is a one-month residency at Sala Uno, an arts centre in the heart of Rome. The history of this collaboration with ROSL, which hosts the work of young artists aged 35 and under, began in 2017 and acknowledges the depth of emerging talent present across the UK in figurative forms of contemporary art.
“We are proud to present our RBA RISING STARS 2023 exhibition in this 200th anniversary year of the Royal Society of British Artists. These artists aged 18 – 35 are semi-finalists in our Rome Scholarship competition. They have been chosen from applicants from around the UK by the RBA Selection Committee, which includes Robin Footitt, ROSL Visual Arts Curator.
This exciting exhibition contains an eclectic mix of media and styles, but all the works display a high level of quality, skill and creativity and this show is a celebration of the talents of these young artists. We are delighted to say that three previous RISING STARS have now RISEN and are elected members of the RBA!” Mick Davies President RBA, Hon RBSA
