Martin Bush on Plymouth student Encounters art exhibition

By PRSD, on Monday, May 18, 2009

Martin Bush, artist in residence at the Royal William Yard, Plymouth, popped along to a student show taking place there

Fine Art students at the University of Plymouth invite you to ‘encounter’ their work as they host a stunning art exhibition at the Royal William Yard, Plymouth.

On arrival to the preview evening I entered with the usual approach to whiz round and see what triggers my eyes into action and then my mind – while picking up the complimentary wine, of course. It is always a pleasure to enter other minds and there work.

It seems we have some talent here in the yard, with the university’s second year artists, and I hope we can hold on to them here in our growing city when they graduate.

I suggest you make the effort to support and enjoy a selection of talent that will provoke and make you feel that you have experience something quite special.

Of course, this show is the second year’s students stretching their muscles and a warm up to their final year show next year so the work may seem experimental and don’t expect to see a finished work of art that you can put in your home. This show is about the artist finding their way, and if you look a little closer you will hopefully get their meaning.

These students work hard to push their ideas, and to it show to the public they hope to get your thoughts to then discover and grow into their art some more.

So get your bods down to the Royal William Yard and soak up this delightful show of British Talent.
– The exhibition runs to May 22, from 11am to 7pm daily
