Oxmarket are delighted to welcome Chichester University Fine Art Department once again to Oxmarket for their graduation show. The exhibition is being kindly sponsored by The Arts Society. The group have largely known each other since 2022 when they started their Fine Art BA degree at the University of Chichester. They’ve each developed a unique and particular way of working in Painting & Drawing, Printmaking, Textiles and/or Sculpture that reflects 3 years of focused development. Each graduate has a clear material practice, an understanding of how Art can embody current ideas, and a professionalism that signals a way forward as artists making work that’s interesting and relevant.

These 9 artists have each developed a way of working that’s unusual and personal, and all have been heavily influenced by modern and contemporary artists in terms of technique, style and the ideas inherent in the work.   They have clear intentions in their work and have spent years refining their ability to communicate messages and feelings. These are often ambiguous, requiring the audience to negotiate their way into the work and fill in the gaps.

Each artist has a unique approach to Painting & Drawing, Printmaking, Textiles and/or Sculpture, one that reflects their artistic journey and personal biography. This exhibition will be in our Wilson Gallery for 2 weeks, not to be missed.
