In 2016 the artist led group ‘Contemporary British Painting’ launched the ‘Contemporary British Painting Prize’. The 2016 group show selection has been made by practicing painters Simon Burton, Nathan Eastwood, Terry Greene, Susie Hamilton, Matthew Krishanu and Freya Purdue.
About
The shortlisted artists are: Louis Appleby, David Auborn, Aglaé Bassens, Karl Bielik, Katrina Blannin, John Brennan, Lindsey Bull, Nick Carrick, Dan Coombs, Gordon Dalton, Marielle Hehir, Cathy Lomax, Kate Lyddon, Mandy Payne and Paul Smith.
The artists selected for the 2016 prize group show come from all over the UK and reflect a diverse range of practice, from the deepening of abstraction, the realist and politically engaged through to the exploration of paint as a conceptual medium. They are equally split between male and female artists with some still in their 20’s and in art school while others have maintained a serious professional practice for many years.
