Auguries of Innocence is an exhibition featuring new works by ten painters currently working in Britain, and who were all recently featured in the seminal Anomie Review of Contemporary British Painting Volume 3. Named after an 1803 poem by William Blake, verses which chime with the pressures and demands of modern life, Auguries of Innocence displays bellwether works that probe the social, political, and artistic conditions of Britain today. Encompassing a range of aesthetic styles, from abstracted landscapes to sumptuously realistic portraits, and including those led by distinctly contemporary narratives to those riffing off the High Renaissance and the fin-de-siecle, the exhibition is a snapshot of the state of play of contemporary painting.
Artists: Anthony Banks, Sara Berman, Lindsey Bull, Victoria Cantons, Jai Chuhan, Marcus Cope, Jasmir Creed, Yulia Iosilzon, Kathryn Maple, Gideon Rubin.
