The Painting Room
12 January - 10 February 2008
Private View Friday 11 January 6-9pm                                 PAINTING ROOM PRESS

'The impression is that painting is alive and well, and bubbling-up artists can still deliver a fresh personal vision. There’s lots of works featuring women, a subject that Emma Talbot brings a discrete bedroom glamour to in Lost On Some Horizon. Fiona Michie’s Elevation is dreamy. Laura Oldfield Ford’s stacked people-boxes in London 2013 is a cool urbanist vignette. No pretensions here - just loads of real art.'

Combining the romance of a 19th century salon with a multitude of contemporary themes, The Painting Room showcases a comprehensive selection of the most exciting new painting today. The transformative quality of painting's language, its current vitality and its continuing ability to re-invent itself are all represented, showing how painting today is a multifaceted media of expression where ideas ranging from the playful to conceptual, fairytale to melancholic and historical to ultra-modern combine to reiterate the sheer exuberance of painting.
