They're Coming to Get You Barbara, 2025, oil on linen, 120 x 120cm

New Old School

Overview

New Old School brings together seven contemporary painters who treat art history as a living companion rather than a distant legacy. Engaging in a “conversation across time”, the artists reimagine historical forms, materials, and figures to explore how the past persists within the present.

Balancing reverence and reinvention, the exhibition celebrates painting’s enduring vitality and complex history.

This exhibition has been curated by Chelsea Lehmann and Luke Thurgate.
