22 Selected Members of the NEAC

About

Since its foundation in 1886, and seeking an exhibition platform beyond the Royal Academy, the New English quickly began to draw in younger painters who had come under the spell of Impressionism and Post Impressionism in France. Today, the New English is a thriving group of about 90 professional artists and the exhibition at Linden Hall Studio offers a taste of the current generation from a selection of artists representing all the different strands within the modern NEAC. From the closely observational painting towards abstraction and the narrative, these threads have been in the New English from the beginning, but a shared sensitivity to the seen world and a delight in really looking, brings us together and gives the vibrancy and energy to this exhibition.
