Alongside this, Speedy was awarded the RSA John Kinross Scholarship, has already held two solo exhibitions, and has been selected for RSA New Contemporaries in Edinburgh (2026).  He then stepped straight into serious company - his paintings were shown this autumn in Don’t Look Back at Unit London during Frieze week - a group exhibition including Tracey Emin, Gavin Turk, Polly Morgan, Richard Billingham, Thomas J Price, Richard Wilson, George Shaw, Mark Titchner, Caroline Achaintre, and other significant figures in contemporary art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are major early markers of recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis canvases open into water-lit worlds. Saturated blues, drifting figures, horizons and pools - everyday gestures suspended in atmospheres that feel both familiar and dream-charged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work constellates a landscape of thresholds, shadows, crossings - silhouetted figures suspended between roles. A dream-logic where leisure becomes ritual, familiar acts become uncanny, and the unconscious is staged on water, fields, and skies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"artist_exhibitions\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h4\"\u003eSolo Exhibitions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) Adrift, Red Kite Gallery, Edinburgh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2020) Between earth and echo, Wonderspot, Edinburgh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h4\"\u003eGroup Exhibitions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2026) The Graduate Show, Morningside Gallery, Edinburgh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2026) Graduates Show: Past Meets Present, Tatha Gallery, Newport\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2026) Affordable Art Fair Hampstead, Morningside gallery, London\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2026) RSA New Contemporaries, Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) Breakouts, Art Pistol, Glasgow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) Degree Show, Duncan of Jordanstone, college of Art and Design, Dundee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) Don’t Look Back, UNIT, London\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) Winter at Heinzel, Gallery Heinzel, Aberdeen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h4\"\u003eCompetitions, Prizes \u0026amp; Awards\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) RSA John Kinross scholarship 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) The James Guthrie Orchar Memorial Art Prize\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) RSA New Contemporaries 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) Freelands Painting Prize Nominee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) WSA Painting Prize Nominee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2025) New Blood Emerging Art Prize - Shortlist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2026) VAA Highly Commended Award\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2026) Walter Scott Award\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"embrace","title":"Embrace","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Tom Speedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58026774233420,"sku":"INV-SPET-0001","price":6950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/1f894535-68dd-4eeb-9f28-37fbc718be46-l.jpg?v=1783568060"},{"product_id":"piazza-del-campo","title":"Piazza Del Campo","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Tom Speedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58026783211852,"sku":"INV-SPET-0002","price":6950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/ab3f75a3-3f27-4645-904d-42a61d17e94f-l.jpg?v=1783568114"},{"product_id":"adrift","title":"Adrift","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Tom Speedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58026783605068,"sku":"INV-SPET-0003","price":6950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/5b6de05f-2dd9-4de1-a9c1-61071e2cefb8-l.jpg?v=1783568137"},{"product_id":"limbo","title":"Limbo","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Tom Speedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58026790322508,"sku":"INV-SPET-0004","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/02ba6221-0fdb-4391-a74b-20124bda7dfb-l.png?v=1783568196"},{"product_id":"bruco","title":"Bruco","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Tom Speedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58026790879564,"sku":"INV-SPET-0005","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/7dca809f-e916-4408-a1ab-497d73ab11c3-l.jpg?v=1783568211"},{"product_id":"lochside","title":"Lochside","description":"Oil on Panel","brand":"Tom Speedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58026791043404,"sku":"INV-SPET-0006","price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/e8f107c5-4e1c-43ed-8fb2-a87e1770859c-l.jpg?v=1783568224"},{"product_id":"chiocciola","title":"Chiocciola","description":"Oil on Canvas","brand":"Tom Speedy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58026791403852,"sku":"INV-SPET-0007","price":4450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/files\/359455a4-a97d-49ff-bbc7-e530b2781f99-l.jpg?v=1783568240"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1054\/0135\/2524\/collections\/Tom_Speedy.png?v=1783349804","url":"https:\/\/www.newbloodart.com\/collections\/tom-speedy.oembed","provider":"New Blood Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
