Following the success of The Anomie Review of Contemporary British
Painting in 2018, a second volume has been created to showcase more
than sixty solo exhibitions that have defined contemporary painting
in Britain since the first volume. This new, larger anthology
presents the work of sixty artists born or living in Britain
through documentation and discussion of solo exhibitions of their
work in museums and galleries around Britain and internationally.
Featuring artists at different stages of their careers, from senior
figures exhibiting at major museums to emerging artists staging
some of their first commercial gallery exhibitions, The Anomie
Review of Contemporary British Painting 2 offers an overview of
recent activity in the medium of painting in Britain. Artists and
venues featured in this new volume include Hurvin Anderson at Rat
Hole Gallery, Tokyo; Lisa Brice at Stephen Friedman Gallery,
London; Gareth Cadwallader at Josh Lilley, London; Denzil Forrester
at Nottingham Contemporary; Sophie von Hellermann at Pilar Corrias,
London; Matthew Krishanu at Midlands Arts Centre, Birmingham; Joy
Labinjo at BALTIC, Gateshead; France-Lise McGurn at Simon Lee,
London; Benjamin Senior at BolteLang, Zurich; Anj Smith at MOSTYN,
Llandudno; Tim Stoner at Modern Art, London; and Phoebe Unwin at
Towner Eastbourne. The anthology, which features cover artwork by
Jade Fadojutimi from her spring 2019 solo exhibition at PEER,
London, has been compiled and written by London-based editor and
writer Matt Price, who in addition to editing more than fifty
monographs, catalogues and books including Phaidon's international
anthologies of painting and drawing Vitamin P2 and D2, has written
for magazines such as Art Monthly, Art Quarterly, ArtReview, Flash
Art, Frieze and Modern Painters. Endorsements for the first volume
of The Anomie Review of Contemporary British Painting: "This
insightful, richly illustrated anthology is a celebration of an
artistic medium that is not only surviving but positively thriving.
In discussing the work of [...] diverse painters, author Matt Price
proves a passionate and engaging artworld guide to British painting
today." - Helen Sumpter, Editor, Art Quarterly, ART FUND "It is
hard to believe that nobody has thought to publish an anthology of
this sort before, so valuable is it to current and future curators,
artists and scholars, as well as audiences interested in the
medium. A highly enjoyable read." - Charlotte Keenan McDonald,
Curator of British Art, Walker Art Gallery / National Museums
Liverpool.
