'Midpoint of Dissolve' Oil on Canvas 100 x 100cm by One of the new paintings in our 30th Summer Exhibition

“Painting is a way of giving aesthetic form to inner feeling, whilst retaining a dialogue with history. It is the paradox and mystery at the heart of painting that compels me to create. The engagement with the medium itself, visual intelligence, intuition, and chance all play vital roles in the painting process. By working in layers and erasures, with long intervals of observation, a form emerges from the canvas that evokes a poetic presence, sitting at the juncture of figuration and abstraction.” – Justin Weeks

✨This landmark exhibition celebrates three decades of contemporary art — with the latest works from some of our most sought after artists, including:

Mary Jane Ansell · David Atkins · Victoria Atkinson · Louise Balaam RWA NEAC · Dawn Benson · Hogan Brown · Shaun Ferguson · Jack Frame · Sara Giacomini · Gemma Harwood · Lee Madgwick · Dan Marshall · Stephanie Rogers · Alice Scrutton · Paul P.
