‘Paradoxes’ is an exhibition showcasing the breadth of contemporary painting practice which is very much alive and thriving in the UK today. CBP membership is made up of internationally exhibiting and award-winning artists, producing regular exhibitions from amongst its membership and guest artists. The group returns to Quay Arts following its hugely successful Summer exhibition of 2016.

Contemporary British Painting is an artist led organisation which explores and promotes current trends in British painting through group exhibitions, talks, publications, and by placing paintings in art museums. The group also founded the The Contemporary British Painting Prize in 2016, an annual prize promoting the best of contemporary painting produced in the British Isles.
