This year the variety and invention creates a more dynamic content.
Away from the bling of the Grayson Perry tapestries, which provide a running text on the woes of modern society, there are many works to appreciate. The overwhelming presence of work by already established RA members restricts the imprint displayed by the public and diminishes the exhibition as a result. So many RAs use their time-worn formulaic work to recycle year on year, whilst new talent embraces challenge and fights to get through the sometimes baffling selection of criteria.
I enjoyed the mix and will go again.
