The Royal Academy Schools hosts the annual exhibition of final year postgraduate students’ work, profiling the work of 16 artists that has been developed over the three-year period of intensive study.

The exhibition sees the transformation of the students’ studios into a stunning contemporary gallery space and provides visitors with a rare opportunity to view exceptional pieces from an ambitious generation of international artists that rigorously questions what it means to be producing visual art in 2012.

The repertoire of work this year ranges from painting to photography and embraces sculpture, digital print and film.
