CONTEMPORARY BRITISH PAINTING
Contemporary British Painting (CBP) is an artist led organisation which explores and promotes current trends in British painting through group exhibitions, talks, publications, and other activities. Contemporary British Painting was founded in 2013 by artists Simon Carter (1961-) and Robert Priseman (1965-), and over the years they brought together a diverse group of painters from around the British Isles creating a forum for the discussion and promotion of contemporary painting. Thanks to Robert and Simon and the generosity of Father Stephen at St Marylebone Parish Church in London, CBP ran a programme of painting exhibitions in The Crypt space until May 2019. Robert also worked tirelessly to create other exhibition opportunities for CBP members and has placed their paintings in permanent collections around the world. He recently made the decision to focus on other projects and has now passed the organisation over to its members and the group is now run entirely by volunteers from within the membership. In 2016 they founded the Contemporary British Painting Prize, an annual prize promoting the best of contemporary painting produced in the UK. Suffolk artists who have exhibited with Contemporary British Painting include Niki Dennis and Laura Leahy.
