With work by 31 contemporary painters spanning three generations, this show at the Hayward Gallery in London (9 September–12 December) offers a broad overview of approaches to the medium. Each of the artists included works in the UK – though many were born and have lived elsewhere, in cities from Cape Town to Caracas – reflecting the country’s status as an international centre for painting in the present day. Among the artists shown are Hurvin Anderson, Lisa Brice, Kudzanai-Violet Hwami and Lubaina Himid. Find out more from the Hayward’s website.
