A New Kitchen Sink
23 Feb-24 Mar 2017
Josh Lilley
London W1W 7EX
Overview
The so-called Kitchen Sink Painters depicted life under austerity in postwar Britain, and dealt in accumulation: a loyalty to detail (the way a join works in a cheap flat matters); an aversion to editing (a half-finished bowl of cornflakes shouldn’t be finished or filled); a building-up of paint (work it until it takes on its weight in the world). In the 1954 essay that christened the school, David Sylvester described their work as 'inventory'. Take what’s on the table. That’s our life.
