Local artists will display their work in a new exhibition from The Walker Art Gallery celebrating the diversity of painting.
The Walker Art Gallery will showcase the work of some of the most exciting contemporary painters in Liverpool. Refractive Pool: Contemporary Painting in Liverpool, which runs from 29 April 2022 to 8 January 2023, features 21 artists who are currently living and working in the city and its surrounding areas.
The exhibition is curated by Liverpool-based artists Josie Jenkins and Brendan Lyons, who approached the Walker in response to what they felt to be a disconnect between many practising artists and art galleries today. In particular, many artists at the beginning of their careers don’t see themselves or their work represented in larger, public galleries.
