Making use of technology dontated by Epson, the Royal Academy students used large scale photographic images and projectors to create and display their artwork, with works ranging from a documentary of a New York acting coach, to a complex collage of found, readymade and printed fragments.

Mark Hampson, head of materials process, Royal Academy, says: “The standard of work produced by the students for their final show is exceptional and demonstrates the wonderful creative outcomes of the collaboration between the RA Schools and Epson.”

The historic Royal Academy studios houses an Epson digital suite onsite, allowing the students access to the cutting edge digital imaging technology.

Hampson comments: “The purpose-built Epson Digital Suite gives students the opportunity to experiment with and draw inspiration from the latest digital imaging technologies, often in unexpected and alternative ways, and supports their works across a vast range of media.”

Nick White, business manager of ProGraphics at Epson UK, is delighted at the artists’ achievements, saying: “Epson is very proud to support the new generation of artists emerging from the Royal Academy Schools. Through our partnership we are able to offer the students the opportunity to work with Epson’s equipment and media and experiment with their creative ideas.”

The Royal Academy Schools offers a three-year postgraduate art course, and does not charge students to attend or receive government funding. It therefore relies upon the support of companies such as Epson to ensure students have access to cutting-edge digital equipment.
