Roundtable / Hettie Judah, Gareth Cadwallader, Allison Katz, Sherman Mern Tat Sam.
Summary: This publication presents the works of 19 contemporary painters that share a common stance now identified as 'Slow Painting', either in its creation, its apprehension by the viewer and/or its relationship to art history. Moving from representation to abstraction, these artists insist on the phenomenological experience, creating works that reveal themselves slowly, as a riposte to the contemporary tendency towards an art that is 'fast', quickly made and then consumed. Artists included: Darren Almond, Athanasios Argianas, Michael Armitage, Gareth Cadwallader, Varda Caivano, Lubaina Himid, Paul Housley, Merlin James, Allison Katz, Simon Ling, Lucy McKenzie, Mairead O’hEocha, Yelena Popova, Carol Rhodes, Sherman Mern Tat Sam, Benjamin Senior, Michael Simpson, Tim Stoner, Caragh Thuring.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at Leeds Art Gallery, 25 October 2019-12 January 2020; The Levinsky Gallery, The Arts Institute, Plymouth, 24 January to 29 March 2020; The Edge, University of Bath, and the Bath School of Art and Design, 10 April to 6 June 2020; Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, and Thurso Gallery, 25 July to 3 October 2020.
