And my next exhibition is at Ipswich Art School Gallery....

There are forty-five contemporary artists participating in this exhibition that opens at Ipswich Art School Gallery on 15th November 2014 and continues until 8th March 2015. I am delighted to be part of this show. Curated by Simon Carter, 'Paint Britain' presents a range of painters from across the UK.

There are six themed rooms within the exhibition, each sensitively curated, and the show is a 'must see' for everyone who loves painting. A catalogue has been published for this exhibition and is available through Amazon.

"'Paint Britain' includes some of the most exciting, emerging, and award winning painting happening in the UK today." The gallery, a former art school in the heart of East Anglia, is a wonderful venue for the show and well worth a visit.

Exhibiting artists:

David Ainley, Iain Andrews, Amanda Ansell, Julian  Brown, Simon Burton, Simon Carter, Jules Clarke, Ben Cove, Andrew Crane, Pen Dalton, Lisa Denyer, Sam Douglas, Annabel Dover, Natalie Dowse, Wendy Elia, Fiona Eastwood, Nathan Eastwood, Paul Galyer, Terry Greene, Susan Gunn, Alex Hanna, Marguerite Horner, Barbara Howey, Linda Ingham, Sue Kennington, Matthew Krishanu, Bryan Lavelle, Monica Metsers, Nick Middleton, Andrew Munoz, Stephen Newton, Kirsty O’Leary-Leeson, Gideon Pain, Ruth Philo, Alison Pilkington, Robert Priseman, Freya Purdue, Greg Rook, Katherine Russell, David Sullivan, Harvey Taylor, Judith Tucker, Julie Umerle, Mary Webb, Sean Williams.

Three group shows

I'm pleased to announce that I have three group shows opening before the end of the year. These shows are all in connection with the collective 'Contemporary British Painting' and a wonderful opportunity to get my work out into the world.

For those who follow my blog, you may remember that I wrote earlier this year in August about the 'Priseman-Seabrook collection of 21st Century British Painting'. The first showing of this collection of over sixty works, which includes one of my paintings, is at Huddersfield Art Gallery from 1st November 2014 - 14th March 2015. This exhibition is called 'Contemporary British Painting'. A catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition, available through Amazon.

The second show is at Ipswich Art School Gallery from 15th November 2014 - 8th March 2015. This exhibition is called 'Paint Britain', with thirty-six participating artists.

The third show is at St Marylebone Crypt in London from 8th December 2014 to 4th January 2015, and is called 'Contemporary British Painting'. This is the group's annual christmas exhibition.

I hope you will be able to visit one or more of these exhibitions. At least now I'll be able to give a good response when people ask me where they can see my paintings!

Ipswich Art School Gallery

In November, I'll be exhibiting one of my paintings in a group show at  Ipswich Art School Gallery with forty-four artists from around the UK. The exhibition is curated by Simon Carter. 'Paint Britain' runs from 15 November - 8 March 2015. Please come to see the show if you can. Should be a lively show.
