SUMMER

Anomie Publishing is delighted to partner with Frestonian Gallery to present SUMMER – an exhibition and publication surveying the work of twenty-four artists who rank among the most exciting and influential contemporary painters in Britain today.The exhibition SUMMER is both a nod to the tradition of collective summer shows in London’s contemporary art scene – dating as far back as the formation of the Royal Academy’s summer salons – and a broad theme around which the participating artists were invited to make or contribute works. The resulting collection of paintings and works on paper is delightfully eclectic and idiosyncratic, from the quintessential English country garden depicted by Tim Braden to the holiday park ice cream shop presented by Caroline Walker, the lush tropical vegetation of Mauritius represented by Cara Nahaul to the abandoned island hotel discovered by Nick Goss while holidaying in Italy. From apocalyptic garden parties to unsporting tennis matches, Cornish coastal walks at dusk and gods hatching plans to woo goddesses in orchards, this is certainly a summer painting survey not to be missed. It is with a spirit of celebration and a desire to showcase excellence in contemporary painting across a broad spectrum of generations, backgrounds and styles that Frestonian Gallery and Anomie Publishing present SUMMER. The publication features a foreword by Rollo Campbell and Matt Incledon, Directors of Frestonian Gallery, and an essay by Matt Price, Publisher at Anomie.The featured artists are: Tim Braden / Hannah Brown / Lindsey Bull / Gareth Cadwallader / Jai Chuhan / Daniel Crews-Chubb / Kaye Donachie / Freya Douglas-Morris / Anna Freeman Bentley / Nick Goss / Sunyoung Hwang / Minami Kobayashi / Matthew Krishanu / Des Lawrence / Jessie Makinson / Kathryn Maple / Barry McGlashan / Justin Mortimer / Ryan Mosley / Cara Nahaul / David Price / Gideon Rubin / Caroline Walker / Jonathan Wateridge
