RA Submissions

Artists have begun submitting their work for the Royal Academy of Arts' 243rd Summer Exhibition, which opens on 7 June. BBC News has posted a slide show of some of the hopefuls (title link). This is cheeky artist Caroline Vollen with her equally cheeky Nude. Too good for the RA, I suspect, Caroline. The current crop of Royal Academicians are more interested in gimmicks than in art. I don't think there's a real artist among them.
