Camberwell BA Degree Show 2013

 

 

Off to the Camberwell BA degree show for a quick look at what the students are showing. The photos below are a fairly random selection of things which caught my eye from the painting, sculpture and illustration shows.

 

BA Sculpture

 

 

 

Ingenious sculpture made from found (?) objects

 

 

 

Performance art in the sculpture show

 

 

BA Painting - there were a few relatively "traditional"
 paintings but no traditional 3D sculpture work

 

 

An attraactively decorative work
(and I don't mean that in a bad way)

 

 

BA Graphic Art

 

 

 

BA Illustration

 

BA Illustration graduate JunYoung-June-Oh from South Korea and her
paper cut outs based on Asian and European fairy tales

 

There was also of course video and digital art which I didn't have time to examine but the thought struck me that a lot of digital work - in video games and special effects for example - continues to use traditional European pespective and representational ideas in a way other forms rarely do nowadays, just as European classical music continues to flourish in the background music for films and video games.

 

PS: On a mid-July visit to the South Bank I came across people leaving the UAL degree ceremony, which had been held at the Royal Festival Hall - best wishes to all the Camberwell students who attended (I thought the black and magenta robes were very stylish!).
