London / Artists making an exhibition version
Give your chosen image a full-size painted presence before you submit the finished work.
A small drawing or photograph may carry the idea for your next exhibition. We can paint that authorized reference at your chosen image size, with the crop and treatment discussed before production.
Identify the small source’s essential marks before enlarging it. Our studio in Dafen Art Village, Shenzhen, China, carries that brief into the hand-painted canvas.
For a juried show, explain our studio’s painting role to the organizer before commissioning an entry. The London dates and requirements below do not establish eligibility.

01 / Choose the version you want people to meet
A gesture that feels small on a screen can become the main feature of a large canvas. Decide whether that is the change you want.
For a figure study, you might want the full pose to remain visible. A closer crop could make it feel like a portrait instead. Both can be painted, but they are different exhibition briefs.
Compare the whole image with any proposed crop before choosing dimensions. Include the empty space that belongs to the work, not only the subject.
If a thin line is important, point it out. Tell us whether it should remain delicate or become a more visible painted mark at the larger size.
The RBA 2027 entry terms set a 2.4 m longest dimension. If that is your intended show, resolve the finished size with the organizer before enlargement.
02 / Let the submission show the actual painting
Your source photograph tells us what to paint. A photograph of the finished canvas tells a selector what physical work you propose to exhibit.
For RBA 2027, works that differ from the submitted image or stated size can be withdrawn. A source file cannot show the brush marks in a painting that does not yet exist.
Use the largest useful file you have, with the crop you intend us to paint. Explain any changes you want in the enlarged version.
Choose the image dimensions and presentation together. If a frame is planned, tell us the outside-size limit as well as the visible painting size.
Use the finished work for your entry image. Keep its title, medium and dimensions consistent with the object you will deliver.
You receive photos and short videos as the painting goes. Our painting process guide explains those updates.
03 / Quote for the finished-image date
RBA 2027 closes submissions at noon on January 8. Selected works are received on February 13, ahead of the February 25 opening.
If you are considering this route, the useful production target is a completed work you can photograph for submission. Tell us that date when discussing feasibility.
A single large painting may need more work than several simple small pieces. We price the actual enlargement, including its detail and presentation, rather than treating every source file alike.
Your own gallery exhibition may have a different image deadline. Share that agreement instead of using the public opening date alone.
04 / Details beyond the enlargement
RBA 2027 excludes work previously exhibited in London. Ask the organizer how that applies to your particular version before placing it in an earlier London show.
RBA asks for rear fittings such as D-rings and wire to be removed and uses mirror plates for hanging. Send its instructions before choosing the frame or stretcher; we can discuss the required hardware.
RBA’s receiving instructions require unwrapped work and removal of all packaging at delivery. Arrange a person or art courier who can complete that handover.
For a London enlargement, line weight is a separate choice from the overall image size. Mark one representative passage and explain whether its lines should remain fine or become stronger. We can discuss that treatment before quoting the enlarged work.
For your London canvas, show whether the fold is part of the artwork or only part of the scan. If removing it changes a figure or joins separate lines, mark the intended connection. Send the complete spread alongside those notes so the enlargement retains its composition.
