An artist has been picked from thousands of entries to exhibit his work at a major new exhibition.

An oil painting by Jincheng Liu, of Croydon, will be displayed at the Mall Galleries near Trafalgar Square during March.

The painting, The Boy Came Out of Snow Mountain, will be on show as part of the Royal Society of British Artists' annual exhibition. 

He was one of thousands of up-and-coming artists who submitted work to curators.

The open submission exhibition will run from March 6 to 17 and is open 10am to 5pm.
