The artwork of Head of the Art Faculty Jane Dinmore has been chosen from thousands to be exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London.
Here’s Hoping was selected from 22,000 submissions to appear in the prestigious annual show, held by the Royal Academy of Arts and visited by thousands every year. Each year, artworks are invited around a theme, with this year’s being climate.
The Summer Exhibition is the world’s largest open submission contemporary art show which has taken place every year without interruption since 1769. Works from all over the world are judged democratically on merit.
Ms Dinmore’s work is a dark commentary on climate change. Inspired by the book The Last Tree on Easter Island by Jared Diamond and a fascination for human placed standing stones, the work is comment on ignoring climate change. It has been mounted in the Grayson Perry room for visitors to admire through the end of June, July and August.
Ms Dinmore travelled up to the gallery ahead of the exhibition launch for what is known as Varnishing Day, where featured artists are celebrated and get a look at the event before the public arrives. She said: “Varnishing Day was great. Hawaiian-shirt wearing steel drum musicians welcomed the artists into the RA courtyard. Then all the exhibiting artists walked to St James Church Piccadilly for a church service. Then we all walked back to the RA to find our work. There was champagne and strawberries for all as well!”
“I met lots of inspiring artists and was excited by being surrounded by people and artwork I admire. My work is in a bright yellow room along with work by Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, Eileen Cooper RA and Bob and Roberta Smith. It feels wonderful for me to be exhibited with artists I actually refer to in my teaching at school.”
