RA Schools Show

The Royal Academy Schools Show opened on Wednesday and runs until 28 June. The RA offers the only three-year, full time postgraduate course in fine art in the UK. The show consists of the work of 18 of its final-year students. These artists should be la crème de la crème of young British art talent. Should be. The oil painting shown here is by Eemyun Kang. It's called Head. Head of person? Head of bat? Fancy U.S. naval toilet? This is the end result of 6 years' study! Trotters Independent Painters can do better than this, and they are untrained piglets (CLICK). What on earth are they teaching them at the RA? How to evade getting a proper job? Anyway, the show is free, so you might as well trot along to see the tripe.
