Slow painting

Curated by the writer and critic Martin Herbert, Slow Painting features 19 artists, primarily British or UK based, whose work spans a myriad of styles and applications, from figuration to abstraction.

Slow Painting aims to explore multiple aspects of what slowness might mean in relation to recent painting. It includes works that, variously, have taken long periods to gestate, ask for and reward sustained looking, and also engage with the arc of time itself: from the continuum of art history, to wider cultural and political histories, to the cosmic.
