Slow Painting is an exhibition of paintings that take their time, and invite us to do the same. “A number of the works, such as those by Lubaina Himid speak to time and memory themselves. Himid’s vividly coloured works uncover buried histories of colonialism, particularly as it relates to British nautical history and the transatlantic slave trade. They contain a deep sense of historical time” (from the Southbank Centre press release).
Martin Herbert, curator of the exhibition says:
“Slow Painting aims to explore multiple aspects of what slowness might mean in relation to recent painting. The exhibition includes works that have taken long periods to gestate, and others that engage with spans of time, from the continuum of art history to wider cultural and political histories. All of them, though, reward sustained contemplation”.
