FORTH VALLEY COLLEGE ARTWORK EXHIBITED BY ROYAL SCOTTISH ACADEMY
Artwork by student Tina Minal has gone on show as part of the RSA’s Annual Exhibition.
Artwork by a Forth Valley College student and a lecturer has been included in this year’s Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition - which is being held online rather than live for the first time in its 194 year history due to lockdown.
It is a great achievement for the two artists, lecturer Ewan John and third year BA Art and Design student Tina Minal from the College’s Creative Industries Department, to be represented. The Annual Exhibition is the core of the RSA’s exhibition programme, and represents the Academy’s commitment to promoting excellence in visual art in Scotland.
Tina (41) from Bo’ness, said: “My artwork looks at human behaviour and how we engage, and this artwork does that by representing how we are influenced by others, be it good or bad and how this has an effect on our emotional, physical and mental health.
“To have my artwork at the RSA Exhibition has been a great achievement and worth all the hard work. I feel very privileged to have this opportunity as an emerging artist and to represent Forth Valley College’s Creative Industries Department.”
Lecturer Ewan John, said: “It is an honour to be included in this unique 194th RSA annual exhibition under the current Covid-19 conditions and in addition, I am delighted to be exhibiting alongside one of our 3rd year students, Tina Minal. Tina has taken on board our suggestions to get her work out there and establish a name for herself whilst still a student at Forth Valley College. Not only will this be a wonderful inclusion on her CV but will give her the real life experience our 3rd year BA Art and Design degree program prepares them for.”
The exhibition is available to view online until 31 May, with accompanying detailed commentary from exhibiting artists, and is the most extensive exhibition of contemporary art and architecture in Scotland. Click here to view the exhibition: ww.rsaannualexhibition.org
