Contemporary British Painting

Contemporary British Painting Contemporary British Painting presents a new platform for contemporary painting in the UK with events, exhibitions and an art prize.

Contemporary British Painting (also known as CBP) is an artist led organisation which explores and promotes current trends in British painting through group exhibitions, talks, publications, and by placing paintings in art museums. The group is run entirely by volunteers from within the membership. We founded the The Contemporary British Painting Prize in 2016, an annual prize promoting the best of contemporary painting produced in the UK. Read more about the Contemporary British Painting Prize here. Our members represent some of the most exciting emerging and award winning painting in the UK today and include John Moores Prize winners Paula MacArthur, Nicholas Middleton, Mandy Payne and Narbi Price, Jonathan Vickers Award winner Natalie Dowse, British Academy awardee James Quin, Griffin Prize exhibitor Matthew Krishanu, Venice Biennale exhibitor Phil Illingworth, and Joanna Whittle, winner of the Valeria Sykes Award at the New Light Prize.

'The exhibition is the culmination of a self-directed residency of sorts, as I wanted to continue the way I’d worked during my residency at S t a n d p o i n t earlier this year, and bring it back to where I live.

During this time, I have been exploring the history, physical presence, and my own personal connection to one of Margate’s most widespread trees: the holm oak.

A Mediterranean tree native to Western Turkey, Greece and through to North Africa, the holm oak has been widely planted throughout Margate and Thanet due to its resistance to salty sea air and the bracing North Sea winds.'

The exhibition takes place from 15-18th October, with a late opening on 15th from 6-8pm.
