It is often suggested that contemporary art and emerging artists have little time or respect for history, and figure painting is seen by some as a faded genre, no longer worth considering.
In the Holbein in England exhibition, critic Charlotte Mullins and artists Martin Maloney and Neal Tait explore the dynamic and often turbulent relationship their work has to the figure and to history.
This event coincides with the publication of Mullins’s Painting People: The State of the Art by Thames & Hudson.
Supported by Gordon's® Sloe gin.
