The Contemporary Masters from Britain exhibition opens on 1st December 2017 at the Tianjin Academy of Fine Art. This is the last stop for the touring exhibition, Contemporary British Painting: 80 painters from the Priseman Seabrook Collection’. The exhibition continues until 10th January 2018.
Robert Priseman asks, “So why is painting from the United Kingdom relevant to a Chinese audience? In exhibiting their work, we create international dialogue and debate between ourselves and other cultures. This is not the art of globalisation, but is instead an art of internationalism, which defines itself as the free and open exchange of ideas between all peoples for the common good.”
Contemporary Masters from Britain draws works from the Priseman Seabrook Collection of 21st Century British Painting which is housed in North Essex. It is the only art collection in the United Kingdom dedicated to painting produced in Britain after the year 2000.
