Advance Diploma of Visual Arts 2023 Graduate Exhibition

[un]titled Collective references a group of students who have formed a close studio bond over their two years of studying together at RMIT in the visual arts programs. In this time, each artist has begun the journey of expanding their art practice in unique directions.

In the exhibited works viewers will experience a survey of the diverse thematics explored by this collective. Works are explorative, personal and questioning of the arts landscape they are partaking. Yet, there is also a harmony amongst the visual works, as their individual approaches complement and expand each other's ideas and aesthetics. The graduating cohort of 2023 have shared many laughs, tears and hours together in the studio. They aren’t easily defined, but they found strength in unity and created, [un]titled Collective.
