Welcome to De Montfort University’s Fine Art Degree Show 2012

This exhibition provides a public showcase for graduating students at the beginning of their careers and presents the diverse and varied nature of Fine Art at De Montfort University. The work reflects the aim of the course to develop individual creativity in contemporary approach-es to fine art.

The Degree Show marks a high point in the academic year. It is very rewarding and exciting to see the abilities of the students realized in a body of stimulating and professional work.

For Fine Art the Degree Show is not just a presentation of work that had been made on the course. It acts as a focus and catalyst for the work, providing a professional exhibition, which almost always is an essential and integral outcome of any Fine Art activity. It provides students with the opportunity of investing the nature of an exhibition, of exploring how work can be presented in a gallery like environment and experienced by the public. It is the culmination of the course and a learning experience in its own right.

This catalogue is a major piece of professional practice in itself, requiring the students to work together to organize, finance and produce it. One fundraising activity, the Fine Art Action, has become a popular fixture in the academic year attracting large audience from inside and out-side the university.

Each generation of students encounters a new and challenging world that contributes to them developing original practices through which they create new experiences for us, the audience. In this way these emerging artists help us to re-imagine the world and view it differently.

The staff team wish the graduating students every success in their future careers.
