Vivien Zhang, Riverlight artist and RCA alumni, has been shortlisted for the Saatchi New Sensations Prize.
New Sensations was launched seven years ago to support the most imaginative and talented young artists in the UK and to present their work to an international audience during Frieze Week. The Prize is now established in the UK as the most important annual prize for emerging artists, and it showcases each year the best graduates studying at UK and Republic of Ireland art schools.
Earlier in 2014 Vivien received the RCA Riverlight Award, an award aimed at supporting emerging contemporary artists from the Royal College of Art’s School of Fine Art through a permanent commissioning programme. Her commission will be unveiled on the scheme later this month.
