Art in the City 2025
‘London’s Dreaming’
Art In The City returns following the great success of last year’s invigorated exhibition. Organised by the Painter-Stainers’ Arts Society and curated by artist members, Tim Wright and Yuki Aruga, the exhibition is exclusively selected from the Company’s membership.
Our selection ranges across the disciplines of abstraction, figuration, portrait-painting, installation, sculpture, printmaking and photography and includes the crafts of gilding, frame- making and trompe-l’oeil.
Many artists choose to explore distinctly individual modes of pictorial representation to depict the figure, object and place. Some make paintings that pursue romantic and expressive ideas which describe the sublime and the spiritual. Others manipulate materials and images to emphasise the delicate singularity of the natural world. Yet more, arrange compositions which set up playful allusions to popular culture.
There will be an additional exhibition of smaller affordable art in the Court Room which will also feature ‘Secret Postcard Art’, so you could be acquiring a piece from any of our artists or indeed by one or two other guest contributors.
We will also be hosting a series of talks which seek to illuminate the outcomes and aspirations of this exciting compendium of the work of the Painter-Stainers’ Livery Company.
