I can’t believe I’ve been shortlisted again for the RA Summer Exhibition. Please keep your fingers crossed for my painting ‘Apart from that, everything’s fine’, 2024, acrylic on linen, 22x28cm. The theme of this year’s exhibition is Dialogues:
“The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2025 will be dedicated to art’s capacity to forge dialogues and to afford us sensitivity towards societal concerns, such as ecology, survival and living together.”
Farshid Moussavi RA, coordinator of Summer Exhibition 2025
Living together is certainly one of my key themes… but the chances of being selected 3 years in a row is pretty slim. Results are announced on Friday 30th May. But making it down from 18,500 entries to the shortlist of c.5,000 is something I’m already pretty darn proud of.
