PAINTING

http://www.rca.ac.uk/painting

Paint is a fluid material, and ideas surrounding what painting is, has been and could be are fluid and continually changing. With each new year group the dynamic of the studios and the conversations around painting shift and broaden in their agendas and processes. A walk through the building here in Battersea is a journey through all the possibilities of thinking and making, artists working through fleeting successes, hideous but essential wrong moves and hard-won moments of elation.

The Painting programme is a world leader in research and practice, with a commitment to broadening the understanding of our discipline in all its forms. Through the many learning and teaching experiences we offer, our students and staff rigorously, critically and supportively engage in personal tutorials, group seminars and presentations. These discussions and critiques take place physically in the Painting studios, across the College, in galleries and other partner institutions, and during visits to major exhibitions both in this country and abroad. On graduation a selection of our students are awarded studio residences, which the College supports through our mentoring scheme.

Our students are here to reflect upon and play out what kind of artists they want to be, what their personal agendas are, and this becomes a sustainable and meaningful practice on graduation.

RCA Painting alumni include David Hockney, Peter Blake, Frank Auerbach, Bridget Riley, Tracey Emin, Chris Ofili, Dexter Dalwood, Nigel Cooke, Gillian Carnegie, and recent visiting lecturers include Neal Tait, Merlin James, Amikan Toren, Sophie von Hellermann, George Shaw, Jamie Shovlin, Varda Caivano, Kate MacGarry, Margot Heller, Daniel Sinsel, Martin Herbert, Markus Vater, Toby Ziegler and Katy Moran. Our graduates' work is exhibited continually in museums and galleries worldwide.
