Ammna Sheikh, The Richer A Persian, The Finer His Rugs (detail), printed cartridge paper and wrapping paper, 2023
Eleven graduates of ECA are among the award winners at this year's Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) New Contemporaries exhibition.
The ECA winners include Charlene Scott and Ammna Sheikh, who each win four awards - Charlene receiving the prestigious Glenfiddich Artist in Residence Award.
I was delighted to see so many ECA students represented at the New Contemporaries exhibition, with an extraordinary amount of important awards, including cash prizes, travel and residencies. I'd like to congratulate the students, their work looks fantastic at the RSA and I look forward to seeing their careers develop and flourish.
