Anomie Review of Contemporary British Painting: Volume 3

Showcases eighty-five British artists through solo exhibitions, providing a comprehensive look at recent developments in contemporary painting.

Following the success of The Anomie Review of Contemporary British Painting in 2018 and The Anomie Review of Contemporary British Painting 2 in 2021, a third volume has been created to showcase solo exhibitions that have defined contemporary painting since the second volume. This new, even larger anthology presents the work of eighty-five artists born or living in Britain through documentation and discussion of solo exhibitions of their work in museums and galleries nationally and internationally. Featuring artists at different stages of their careers, from senior figures exhibiting at major museums to emerging artists presenting some of their first commercial gallery exhibitions, The Anomie Review of Contemporary British Painting 3 offers an overview of recent activity in the medium of painting in Britain.

Artists and venues featured in this new volume include Andrew Cranston at Ingleby, Edinburgh; Jadé Fadojutimi at The Hepworth Wakefield; Sahara Longe at Timothy Taylor, London; Kathryn Maple at The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool; Mohammed Sami at Camden Art Centre, London; Lucy Stein at Spike Island, Bristol; Caroline Walker at the Fitzrovia Chapel and Stephen Friedman Gallery, London; and Jonathan Wateridge at Nino Mier, Brussels.

The anthology, which features cover artwork by Louise Giovanelli from her autumn 2021 exhibition at GRIMM, New York, has been selected by London-based publisher and writer Matt Price, who in addition to editing dozens of catalogues, monographs, and books including Phaidon's international anthologies of painting and drawing Vitamin P2 and Vitamin D2, authored the first two volumes of The Anomie Review of Contemporary British Painting.

The publication, which has been edited by Birmingham-based editor, curator, and writer Anneka French, features text entries by Amah-Rose Abrams, Melissa Baksh, Holly Black, Lauren Dei, Yasmina Floyer, Anneka French, Kathryn Lloyd, Anna McNay, Matthew James Holman, and Matt Price.
