Contemporary British Painting 2

Following the success of ‘The Anomie Review of Contemporary British Painting’ in 2018, a second volume has been created to showcase solo exhibitions that have defined contemporary painting in Britain since the first volume, including ‘Suburb’, by our very own Graham Chorlton.

This stunning book, written by Matt Price, is well worth a look.
