British curator and writer Martin Herbert brings together works by 19 contemporary painters in this volume, all sharing a common position identified as "slow painting", referring to both its creation and its apprehension by the viewer. Moving from figuration to abstraction, these artists emphasize phenomenological experience, creating works that reveal themselves slowly, in response to the contemporary trend towards "fast art", quickly made and then consumed.
With 50 illustrations, Slow Painting includes an essay and curatorial overview by Martin Herbert as well as a roundtable interview with Hettie Judah.
Artists include: Darren Almond, Athanasios Argianas, Michael Armitage, Gareth Cadwallader, Varda Caivano, Lubaina Himid, Paul Housley, Merlin James, Allison Katz, Simon Ling, Lucy McKenzie, Mairead O’hEocha, Yelena Popova, Carol Rhodes, Sherman Mern Tat Sam, Benjamin Senior, Michael Simpson, Tim Stoner and Caragh Thuring.
