Royal Academy
The Royal Academy of Arts (RA) is an art institution based in Burlington House on Piccadilly in London. Founded in 1768, it has a unique position as an independent, privately funded institution led by eminent artists and architects. Its purpose is to promote the creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education and debate.

Prior to this a number of artists were members of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, including Cheere and William Hogarth, or were involved in small-scale private art academies, such as the St Martin's Lane Academy.

Heron was recognised as one of the leading painters of his generation.

He attended the University of Sussex 1980–1983, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design 1988–1991 and Goldsmiths College 1991–1992 Martin Maloney practises deliberately "bad" painting, where images (mainly figures) are achieved with apparently inept draughtsmanship and crude painting. Through his expressionistic style, strong colours, and humorous subject matter, Maloney's paintings record everyday experiences and moments of awkward intimacy. He often incorporates references to art history, from Vermeer to Georg Baselitz. Art historian Julian Stallabrass said that Maloney's work was "childishly sweet and banal figure paintings". Maloney was an exhibitor Saatchi Collection on display as ''Sensation'', held at the Royal Academy, London, in 1997. He was also exhibited in the ''New Neurotic Realism'' show held at the Saatchi Gallery. Twenty artwor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
