London Paint Club has selected 20 artists, including four New Blood emerging artists, to display their work in a pop-up show in Central London. In-person for one night only on Saturday 26th November (and online thereafter for a month), the selected work meets our darkening nights with an eclectic boldness of dream-like escapist scenes. RSVP here if you’d like to attend the pop-up show (for free).
Since being chosen as a Bloomberg New Contemporary in 2021, Thomas Cameron’s two new pieces ‘Questions’ (2022) and ‘Mannequin’ (2022) have arrived. With ghostly blue and mauve – think early-evening streetlights beneath smoke – it makes sense that Cameron takes inspiration from cinema greats such as Wong Kar-Wai and Andrei Tarkovsky.
Also look out for Emerson Pullman, whose figurative work recently appeared on digital billboards throughout the UK as part of a Free Range x Clear Channel collaborative exhibition. Afraid neither of white spaces nor densely gestural marks, his work uses this contrast to draw attention to introspective pauses in the business of daily life.
Elsewhere Claire Shakespeare operates closer to abstract expressionism, where her work is driven by impulse and instinct to spark a somatic experience in the viewer. Not without humour (bodily laughs are a form of expression!) Shakespeare’s works point to the ordinary and extraordinary – see ‘Wobbly Knee’ (2022).
Slovakian artist Jan Valik also represents New Blood Art with his mysterious pieces that delve into the scientific, visually referencing quantum theory and anti-gravity. Otherworldly yet still of this world, abstract shapes collide in a unique visual language through glowing colour. Shortlisted for the Contemporary British Painting Prize in 2021, he has regularly exhibited internationally since graduating in 2012.
