Kovet.Art is delighted to invite you to the VIP Promenade of New Futures Digital: CSM Focus! These works have been created in 2020 in the midst of isolation and the pandemic therefore are incredibly relevant and relatable.

The selection of artists and graduates from Central Saint Martins whose work you see here confront the distance and closeness between them and their surroundings, as much as within themselves. The artworks presented focus on singular, solitary experiences and confinements, through reflective and often pressing meditations on our contemporary conundrums, from displacement, to cultural memory, to a desire to match external presentation with internal feeling.

The Art Vault is a new dedicated digital exhibition space globally accessible on Kovet.Art’s website, curated by exciting emerging and guest curators showcasing some of the most exciting collectible, emerging art. By collaborating with the best fine art institutions in the UK and guest curators, Kovet.Art wishes to solidify The Art Vault as a foundation for an ecosystem of collectors, art advisors, interior designers and art lovers to source exquisite art, discover their next investment and be inspired. The Art Vault is fully accessible via Kovet.Art website but you can also sign up for an art consultation with a team of experts.New Futures Digital brings the voices of emerging artists and graduate curators to an international stage.CSM Focus is followed by UCL Slade School of Fine Art curated by Victoria Cantons on 25th February 2021 and Royal College of Art curated by Junyao Chen and Xu Yang on 8 March 2021.
