A contemporary painting perspective.
A unique opportunity to view contemporary and historic works where observation and personal processes are used to explore visual appearances.
Translating what is seen onto a flat surface is complex. The artists observe and paint directly from their subject, to question the elusive and beautiful appearance of the visible world. They are linked by their search for ‘visual evidence’ through drawing and painting, in response to what they see, think and feel.
Alongside new works by over 30 leading contemporary artists, we have secured important loans from private collections by historic artists including:
- Euan Uglow, Patrick George, Patrick Symons and Myles Murphy
- Internationally renowned artists including co-founders of the Euston Road School: Claude Rogers (1907-1979), Graham Bell (1910-1943), Victor Pasmore (1908-1998) and Sir William Coldstream (1908-1987).
The exhibition also features works by our gallery’s namesake, artist Thelma Hulbert, who became part of the influential Euston Road School (1937-1939) alongside Coldstream and Rogers.
The exhibition is co-curated by Mark Dunford and Tim Craven. There will be an accompanying catalogue and programme of events including a Private View, Artist Talk and Workshop.
