Jack Burton’s installation featured collages of digital photographs and prints created in high gloss photo finish on the Schools’ Epson large format printers
The Annual exhibition of works by final year students at the Royal Academy Schools featured artwork created using Epson large format printers and projectors.
From 22 June to 4 July the Royal Academy Schools hosted an exhibition to show final-year students’ artwork across a wide range of media. The finished artworks included a range of media from painting to photography, sculpture, performance, digital print and film.
With the Epson Digital Suite housed inside the schools’ studio spaces, all 17 students who exhibited worked with Epson technology at some time during their three years at the Schools and it featured strongly in several students’ work at the show.
‘Of course these students are digital natives but it is the manner in which they can adopt various technologies and then adapt or mould it to a creative end that I find inspirational,’ commented Mark Hampson, head of fine art processes, RA Schools. ‘Whether using projectors, proofers or printers students have really benefitted throughout their time at the Royal Schools from having access to Epson products and support.
‘Students take Epson away from its usual commercial functions and use it to showcase unusual and imaginative creative art of quality and impact,’ he continued. ‘Epson has continuously supported us and invariably company representatives attend the show and see for themselves just how critical their contribution is to taking talented individuals to a new level of competence and insight.’
