    The Contemporary British Painting Prize Group Show 2016 Seabrook Press The Contemporary British Painting Prize Group Show 2016 The Riverside Gallery, Richmond Museum, 10 September – 22 October Huddersfield Art Gallery, 5 November – 28 January “There can be no better, more sensitive or more serious way than 'The Contemporary British Painting Prize’ to discover and assess the exciting new directions being taken by painters in Britain today.” Michael Peppiatt, Art Critic and Curator, Paris “The Contemporary British Painting Prize offers us fresh and exciting perspectives on the new, dynamic and idiosyncratic trends being taken by painters in Britain right now.” Jessica Twyman, Director, Art Exchange “Although only in its first year, the Contemporary British Painting prize has drawn 631 entries of outstanding quality from both emerging and well-known artists and has set a benchmark for the nation.” Anna McNay, Art writer, London “It has been an amazing and rewarding experience for me to observe the creation and the evolution of Contemporary British Painting - as a concept, as an organisation and now as an award, the Contemporary British Painting Prize. The commitment and unfailing enthusiasm of Robert Priseman and his colleagues shown in the course of this evolution - all with the single purpose of re-establishing painting as the greatest and popular art medium in the contemporary art world - are truly impressive and deserving of praise. I've had the pleasure of reviewing the draft catalogue of the works of the Contemporary British Painting Award finalists and have been impressed by the depth of the subject matters and the variety of styles.

    THE BRENTWOOD STATIONS OF THE CROSS Fifteen Stations of the Cross by fifteen contemporary painters First shown at Brentwood Cathedral, Ash Wednesday to Good Friday 2015 Copyright © 2015 Simon Carter, Father Martin Boland & all the contributing artists Designed and edited by Simon Carter All rights reserved ISBN-13: 978-1505832068 ISBN-10: 1505832063 THE BRENTWOOD STATIONS OF THE CROSS Project devised by Fr. Martin Boland Dean of Brentwood Cathedral INTRODUCTION: FAITH IN PAINT Simon Carter Being a believer within a protestant non-conformist tradition does not make it easy to be a painter. Non-conformists have traditionally had a marked mistrust of imagery and a firm attachment to words. We like the idea of Jesus as the Word of God (John 1:1) but are less keen on him as the Image of God (Colossians 1:15). For a painter a mistrust of images is anathema. In the early 1980’s Ruth and I visited the Nolde Foundation in North Germany and saw Nolde’s Life of Christ polyptych. I thought that to express my faith I would need to do something similar. There are moments and events in life that in retrospect assume unreasonable significance and it was the actual experience of visiting the Foundation that had a long after-life for me. We had cycled out of Denmark across flatlands of burnt stubble and drifting smoke. We were allowed to cross the border on a quiet back road as long as we promised to return the same day; the Foundation an isolated farmstead set among drainage dykes and a late summer flower garden.

And by day, regular family outings to see the Joseph Wright Collection at our local museum, the Derby Museum and Art Gallery, developed my own love of painting from an early age. My passion deepened as a student when I read Aesthetics and Art Theory at The University of Essex in the late 1980’s, a time when painting in Britain was experiencing one of its most exciting periods, with many exhibitions, books and magazines being published on the subject. It was the inspiration of this period which led me to take up painting myself, and in the summer of 2012 I was fortunate enough to co-curate the exhibition ‘Francis Bacon to Paula Rego’ at Abbot Hall Art Gallery with their Artistic Director Helen Watson. The aim of the show was simple – to revisit the landmark ‘School of London’ exhibition which Michael Peppiatt had curated in 1987 and see how painting had evolved in Britain during the intervening years.
