The RSMA Annual Exhibition, celebrates all aspects of the sea with themed works in a broad range of styles and media and provides a focal point for much of Britain's finest contemporary marine art.
The common theme is the sea and tidal waters although, within that remit, work is wide and varied. Subjects range from deep water shipping to coastal scenes, competitive sailing to quiet harbours, marine wildlife to still-life.
The exhibition will take place from 30 September to 10 October at the Mall Galleries, The Mall, London SW1.
