Shade insensitive to neglect new artist (5)
I believe the answer is:
umbra
'shade' is the definition.
(umbra is a kind of shade)
'insensitive to neglect new artist' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'artist' could be 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts) and 'ra' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for umbra that I've seen before include "Shadow's inner region" , "Burma (anag.)" , "Black spot" , "dark place" , "Shade, or ghost" .)
