As the artist picks his way along, rejecting and accepting as s/he goes, certain patterns of enquiry emerge

— Bridget Riley

Last week, 10 artists from the class of 2020's MA Fine Art programme at Central Saint Martins came together to show their recent work.

Suddenly and unexpectedly scattered asunder in March 2020, they have kept in touch and supported one another at distance as they picked their way along in an uncertain world, accepting and rejecting as they went, seeking their own patterns of enquiry.

The exhibition marked their emergence as artists and from lockdown as they came together once more and two years on.

It was warmly welcomed by around 400 visitors, including their former tutors and technicians from CSM. You can find out more about the show by visiting #PatternsofEnquiry on Instagram or downloading the catalogue here.
