The Chaiya Art Awards 2023

These are the artists whose work has been selected for the 2023 Chaiya Art Awards Exhibition, taking place 7-16 April 2023 at the OXO and Bargehouse galleries on London’s Southbank. 

Over 770 entries were received in a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, glass, textiles, photography, video and installations.  The quality of submissions was very high and we selected 200 works to be longlisted and then chose the final 120 for inclusion in the exhibition. 

We genuinely felt there were many interesting pieces which we didn’t select, but we are unable to include all works submitted. The judging panel have selected the artwork that they felt: contributed into the theme; met the published judging criteria; worked in the gallery spaces and combined with other pieces to make a dynamic exhibition.
