This exhibition has been curated by award-winning artist Narbi Price and brings together the work of over 80 artists, including George Shaw, Andrew Grassie, HUSH, Biggs & Collings, alongside members of the Contemporary British Painting organisation (CBP) and innovative emerging artists.

The exhibition explores the huge spectrum of what painting can be, from photorealism through gestural abstraction, tiny intimate studies to big bombastic works, paintings that come off the wall and paintings that make you question what you’re looking at.

The exhibition marks the tenth anniversary of CBP and features all previous winners of the Contemporary British Painting Prize. It also showcases prize winners and nominees of the Turner Prize, the John Moores Painting Prize, BEEP Painting Biennale, and Culture Awards Visual Artists of the Year.

The exhibition opening will coincide with The Late Shows with DJ sets by Bishop (founder of Opal Tapes), and Paul Smith, best known as the frontman of Maxïmo Park.

Contemporary British Painting is an artist led organisation which explores and promotes current trends in British painting through the activity of our members, exhibitions, talks and publications, and placing work in art museums and collections. The group is run entirely by volunteers from within the membership. In 2016 we founded The Contemporary British Painting Prize, an annual prize promoting the best of contemporary painting produced in the UK.
