The annual Royal Academy summer exhibition, which provides a platform for the artistic community, is this year co-ordinated by contemporary British painter David Remfry RA.
Each year, a different committee of artists and architects selects more than 1,200 works for display from a range of media including prints, paintings, film, photography and sculpture.
Working with the other committee members, Remfry’s Summer Exhibition will explore the theme Only Connect, taken from the famous quote in Howards End by EM Forster.
The Summer Exhibition is described as “the world’s largest open submission contemporary art show” and it has taken place every year since 1769.
A part of the funds raised from the exhibition will contribute to financing the postgraduate students at the Royal Academy Schools.
Artists exhibiting work this year include Lindsey Mendick, Ida Applebroog and Caroline Walker, as well as Royal Academicians Frank Bowling, Michael Craig-Martin and Tracey Emin.
Among the collection, a mobile installation by Irish fashion designer Richard Malone will hang in the Central Hall in an attempt to “transverse the line between fashion and sculpture”.
The Royal Academy of Arts’ Summer Exhibition will run from June 21 to August 21.
