The New English Art Club exhibits the very best in figurative, observational and painterly work in the UK.
Showcasing paintings, drawings, and prints from its elected members alongside work by emerging artists whose ethos reflects its own: informed by the visual world and personal interpretation, while underpinned by drawing.
Founded in the 19th Century, the New English traces its history through artists as diverse as Stanley Spencer, David Bomberg, Vanessa Bell and Gwen John. More recent exhibitors include Royal Academicians such as Humphrey Ocean, Anthony Green and Anthony Eyton.
The New English Art Club has from its outset sought out strong developing artists at an early stage in their career. This year's headline prize, The Doreen McIntosh Prize of £5,000, will be awarded to an artist whose work fulfils the New English’s ideals of rigour, immediate engagement with the visual and a searching attitude.
At Mall Galleries, The Mall London SW1 from 25 June to 3 July 2021.
