ALL WORK DONE BY GRADUATES OF UAL CHELSEA

despite the fantastic location and incredible building, the work displayed at this college was not wholly to my taste - it consisted a lot of textiles (not photographed) and installations which were slightly unclear. Being a painter i was particularly searching for portraiture/paintings, and these were the ones i most liked. All in all, an eye-opening experience with alternative arts in such a great college
