One Thing Touches Another foregrounds painting as a vital medium of human expression. Central to its curatorial premise is the sense that painting offers a physical manifestation of another’s thoughts, opening our own minds to the thoughts and questions other individuals ask.
The exhibition brings together work by over 40 British artists, from internationally established figures to emerging young contemporaries. It reveals connections and currents in British art that span 75 years, with work by significant artists of the Modern British era, including Eileen Agar, Prunella Clough, Roger Hilton and William Scott, historic paintings by Ken Kiff and Roy Oxlade (whose influence as teachers travels into the present time), and recent work by artists including Basil Beattie RA, Andrew Cranston and Marcus Harvey.
