This year’s Bloomberg New Contemporaries returns to South London Gallery featuring 47 of the UK’s most exciting artists emerging from art schools and alternative peer-to-peer learning programmes.

About

The 2022 cohort of New Contemporaries artists were selected by internationally renowned artists James Richards, Veronica Ryan and Zadie Xa from an open call submission of over 1,500 entries. 

Veronica Ryan, New Contemporaries 2022 selector said, “It’s really important for emerging artists to get an early sense of how their ongoing practice will develop. New Contemporaries provides a really good way for artists to get a sense of the wider world, of what happens once you leave art school, of their contemporaries and of different colleges and alternate ways of thinking.”

Selected artists for Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2022 are: Lou Baker, Ashton Blyth, Adam Boyd, Tom Bull, Velvet Butler Carroll/Rudi Blu, Danying Chen, Josh Clague, Eugenia Cuellar, bill daggs, Francesca Dobbe, Charlotte Edey, Paola Estrella, Winnie Hall, Hamish Halley, Deborah Hobson, Eva Hopper, Steph Huang, Kneed – Ishwari Bhalerao and Leonie Rousham, Gabriel Kidd, Yun Kim, Sarah Lang, Akinsola Lawanson, Lorena Levi, Rudy Loewe, Catarina Ludovico, Jemisha Maadhavji, Leily Moghtader Mojdehi, Mehmil Nadeem, Abi Ola, Beverley Onyangunga, Ciara Otuokere, Meitao Qu, Bishwadhan Rai, Divya Sharma, Nicole Sheppard, Sherie Sitauze, Katie Surridge, Yukako Tanaka, Kialy Tihngang, Emma Todd, Rosalie Wammes, Theresa Weber, Andre Williams, Dawn Wilson, Zearo and Zish.

Presented thematically, the exhibition broadly explores Portraiture of the Self and Others; Communication and Disconnection; Spirituality and Mysticism; Repurposing and Retro-futurism; and Reclaiming Spaces – reflecting the cultural frameworks that inform each artist’s practice.  

Alongside the exhibition, New Contemporaries will present a series of Public Programme events developed in response to the exhibiting artists’ ongoing interests and topics relevant to emerging practice. 

Details of these events and others including school and family programmes as well as skill-sharing workshops by leading industry professionals can be found at www.newcontemporaries.org.uk.

Also complementing the exhibition is New Contemporaries 2022 Online Platformplatform.newcontemporaries.org.uk, an online space for the artists to present their work beyond the physical show. Including artists' works and biographical material, the platform also offers new, critical voices and fresh perspectives on New Contemporaries and the artists’ practices by early career writers. Contributors include Abiba Coulibaly, Dan Guthrie, Alex Hull, Isaac Huxtable, Anjana Janardhan, Debbie Meniru, Sam Moore, Pelumi Odubanjo and Evelyn Wh-ell.
