Cristina Schek to Present Her Biggest Exhibition Yet at The Exhibitionist Hotel, London

Leigh Picture Gallery is delighted to share that artist Cristina Schek will present her biggest exhibition to date in Line of Beauty, the Young Masters People’s Choice Award Winners Exhibition, opening on 15 January 2026 at The Exhibitionist Hotel in South Kensington, London.

Following her First Prize in the 2025 Young Masters People's Choice Award, Cristina presents a major selection of previously unseen works throughout one of London's most distinctive art hotels. Marking an important milestone in her career, the exhibition offers a glimpse into an evolving body of work devoted to the exploration of imagination as an essential human capacity.

Leigh Picture Gallery is especially pleased to have framed Cristina’s artworks for the exhibition. Each frame has been carefully chosen to complement the work and give the images presence within the richly decorated Georgian interiors of The Exhibitionist Hotel.

Cristina was also Highly Commended for the Rudolph Blume Foundation Acquisition Award, following earlier Young Masters milestones including the Focus on the Female: Art Created During Lockdown Award in 2021.

Art critic and art historian Estelle Lovatt FRSA writes:

“In a league of her own, Cristina Schek’s incredible visual adventures embrace life, beyond life. Piloting artistic vision between reality and imagination I’m calling Surreal Neo-Romantic Universalism. Questioning what’s factual by what’s make-believe, Schek bends Einstein and Newton, making her new artwork fairytales for grownups.”
