The Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition is billed as the "world's largest open submission contemporary art exhibition". Established and unknown artists alike submit their work for consideration. This year's show features 1,267 exhibits.
More than 11,000 entries were made for this year's show, with aspiring artists queuing up outside the London gallery to submit their work. Their work will be displayed alongside paintings like these, by Turner-nominated artist Gillian Ayres.
Silver Streak is a work made entirely from coat hangers. The King Kong figure, by artist David Mach, is priced at £265,000.
A lady stands alongside Self Portrait After Messerschmidt, by artist Tony Bevan. Works have been selected this year around the theme "raw".
The exhibition features painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, architecture and film. This glass and wood piece, by Ruth Dupre, is entitled Butchery.
A visitor looks at a painting called Untitled No 39 by Callum Innes, a Scottish abstract painter and former Turner Prize nominee. The Summer Exhibition runs from 14 June - 22 August.
Exhibition co-ordinator Stephen Chambers compared Yinka Shonibare's Crash Willy to children's cartoon Wacky Races. Shonibare hit headlines recently when he placed a bottled ship on Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth.
