Saturday 19 June - Saturday 10 July 2021
The Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts (RGI) are proud to announce this year’s winners of the RGI Graduate Award. The three recipients, Charlotte Hayes, Megan Squire and Charlotte Elizabeth Roberts, are all recent graduates from The Glasgow School of Art (GSA). The RGI Graduate Award is awarded to emerging artists at the GSA Degree show, in recognition of outstanding work. The winners, from the School of Fine Arts, were selected by the RGI artist judging panel which consisted of Thyme James, Sean Ellcombe and the RGI President Adrian Wiszniewski RSA, Hon FRIAS, HRSW.
About the Artists
Charlotte Hayes: Excavating alternative histories with silk, air drying clay and polymorph, my work occupies territories between fictional narratives, scientific discoveries and skilful crafting. She creates sculptures which come to exist through the surveyal of museum-objects and characters from folk stories. The combination between recognisable and unidentifiable imagery creates a sense of familiarity, while still being ‘other’.
‘Child’s Pose’, water-soluble oil paint on canvas, 30 x 24 cm, 2020.
Megan Squire: Megan Squire is a painter from Preston, Lancashire and a graduate of Painting and Printmaking at The Glasgow School of Art. She has stayed in Glasgow since her graduation and continues to make work towards an ongoing project; focusing on self-positioning, constellating and self-made tropes.
‘Body’, photograph.
Charlotte Elizabeth Roberts: Roberts is a photographer and printmaker currently based in Glasgow, Scotland. Guided by an accumulation of voices from all ages, the artist ensures that the smaller aspects of life are not lost to a dream of a greater destiny.
The RGI Graduate Award Exhibition will be held at the RGI Kelly Gallery in June 2021. More details will follow shortly.
Please note that the exhibition will adhere to all Covid restrictions and due to this the dates may change.
