Review of Chelsea’s MA post-graduate summer shows: ‘enjoyable…entertaining…high quality’ – Chelsea College of Arts, London

“Attending a student art show is always something of a mixed bag. Whilst it’s a wonderful chance to see the work of fresh-faced ‘up and coming’ artists, and get a sense of the trends, themes, and aesthetics we might expect in gallery shows over the next few years; the best work is always at risk of being crowded out by less successful experiments. It was with this slightly resigned attitude that Candid attended the opening of the Chelsea College of Art’s Postgraduate Summer Show on Friday, 4 September – only to be pleasantly surprised.”
