The New English Art Club Annual Exhibition is a chance to experience the very best in figurative, observational and painterly work in the UK. 

“At a stage where figurative painting is making a huge comeback (the tide has turned), the New English stands in a great position due to its long, rich legacy and keystone principles of drawing. Eclectic but coherent, our Annual Exhibition is a snapshot of the very best work being produced today.”   Peter Brown, NEAC President​

The British Plein Air Painters is a group of leading contemporary artists who share a passion for painting outdoors, in front of the subject, capturing the essence of their surroundings with freshness and energy.

Following on from their very successful debut exhibition in London in 2018 we are delighted to announce the plein air artists return to London for their second exhibition ‘Colour and Light’. The group’s latest work will be on show in the heart of central London at the Mall Galleries, which has long been recognised as the home of figurative painting in the UK, enjoying an enviable position in between Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace.

The exhibition will showcase the latest work by 26 of the country’s foremost plein air artists including David Curtis ROI RSMA, Trevor Chamberlain ROI RSMA, Peter Brown PNEAC, Haidee-Jo Summers ROI RSMA and Roger Dellar ROI PS. There will be a wide range of styles, subjects and painting mediums on show. During the week, a programme of talks, demonstrations and a paint out will take place with opportunities to meet and paint with the artists.
