VISIONARIES May 20 - June 10 2009
Touring: August 28 - 31 2009
Greenbelt Arts Festival, Cheltenham

Visionaries brings together artists working in this honourable and challenging tradition, which includes William Blake, Goya and Samuel Palmer - those who explore with passion the territories of the spiritual, the religious and the human condition. The exhibition will include works by a number of painters, who although they are no longer alive, are still hugely influential: Stanley Spencer, Cecil Collins, Norman Adams, Tony Goble and Albert Herbert. They are joined by contemporary artists: Unity Spencer, Peter Howson, Clive Hicks-Jenkins, Paul Martin, Noel White, Brian Whelan, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Harry Adam, Billy Childish, Phillippa Clayden and Adam Neate. The prophetic tradition, with its history of dramatic enactment, is a rich one. Visionaries will therefore include a performance piece by Kit Poulson and David Shillinglaw will paint ‘live’ during the period of the exhibition.

The exhibition has been curated by Wallspace and will be on show at All Hallows on the Wall in the City of London from 20 May to 10 June. It will then travel to Greenbelt Festival, at Cheltenham Race Course for the August Bank Holiday weekend, from 28 to 31 August.
