Artist of the month

Sophia Rosenthal

Artist of the Month is an ongoing series where we highlight one of our members. This month we are pleased to introduce artist Sophia Rosenthal selected and interviewed by Paul Newman.

Born in South Korea, raised in the Philippines, and now based in the UK, Sophia Rosenthal’s painting practice is rooted in a desire to explore memory - particularly in relation to identity, belonging, and migration. Working primarily from personal childhood photographs, Sophia is drawn to the unexpected or overlooked, yet charged details in these images, what Roland Barthes calls the punctum, and defines as the emotional or disruptive element that punctures the frame. These discoveries are at the heart of her current work.

NEW: CBP Projects

BODY AND IDENTITY

BODY AND IDENTITY is the first of CBP’s new structure of annual themes, sitting alongside our existing exhibitions programme, the Prize and other projects.

Our aim is to create a lively discourse about painting and culture, both between CBP members and other artists, reflecting the rich diversity of practices that we have at CBP. As the project builds over the course of the year we hope to bring many different items related to the theme, submitted by CBP members – for example information about an exhibition; artist to artist dialogues, texts, or essays and more.

Solo Exhibitions

Image: Susan Absolon: 'Choker' oil on paper, 2025

Hang-Ups

Hang-Ups is the first solo exhibition in Margate of the 2021 Contemporary British Painting Prize winner, Susan Absolon. The exhibition takes place at Joseph Wales Studios, one of Margate's most appealing independent project spaces. Characterised by the suggestion of something recognised yet difficult to name, and without declaring their source or references, Susan Absolon's paintings nimbly evade fixed subject matter. By welcoming the opportunities offered by surface, medium, process and presentation, and encouraging the fluid interaction of word, image, and thought, the mundane, the problematic, and the profound coincide.

Joseph Wales Studios, 2a Dane Road, Margate CT9 1QP

Exhibition dates: 4 - 8 June 2026

Opening times: 4 June, 4pm - 6pm; 5 - 8 June 11am - 6pm

Please note: 8 June hours subject to change - see note*

Admission free - ground floor, single-step access.

*If you plan to visit on Monday 8th June, please confirm that day's specific opening hours with the artist (DM @susan.absolon, or email: [email protected]) Thank you.

Two Person Exhibitions

Angelina May Davis: Smokescreen, 152cm x 137cm, 2025

Missteps

A two person exhibition with Cedar Lewisohn and Angelina May Davis.

Missteps is an exhibition that considers history as inherently unstable and constructed. It examines how narratives are shaped, distorted, and repeated through cultural reproduction, whether through the Western modernist gaze on 20th-century African culture, or through post-war grand narratives of “quintessential” Englishness and imperial identity, and the lingering afterlives of empire during decline.

Cedar Lewisohn’s large-format book project, Linos Books, consists of lino prints and drawings inspired by both paintings from the modernist period and depictions by European artists such as Amedeo Modigliani and Hannah Höch, as well as masks from West Africa drawn in situ in museums. The books are large, sculptural objects, and in the artist’s imagination they are to be read as one might watch analogue cartoons, old animations from the 1970s - a relevant crossover with May Davis’ work.

Angelina May Davis’ paintings relate to a formative experience of growing up in a working-class English village whose rituals and aesthetics; village greens, cricket teams, and church bells, embody a performed and already mythologised “Englishness.” Her work emerges from a tension between this lived environment and an early awareness that postmodernism was already quietly dismantling the certainty of such narratives. Davis talks about her work through a very particular aesthetic, through the chroma of early colour TV and the informal line and form within her paintings, drawing on a mix between Warner Brothers cartoons and pencil studies for paintings by Gainsborough.

Together, the works in this exhibition frame history not as a stable account, but as a set of misreadings: reproduced, critiqued, idealised, and contested. The exhibition considers how cultural memory is shaped by both deliberate construction and inherited fiction, where Englishness, colonial histories, and visual culture are never simply recorded, but continually misstepped into being.

IMTwentyOne

IMTwentyOne marks IMT Gallery’s 21st anniversary with a benefit exhibition and online auction, bringing together over 100 unique works by emerging to established artists including CBP members Lesley Bunch and Emma Tod.

Participating artists include those IMT has previously collaborated with, alongside nominations by the gallery’s represented artists David Burrows, Plastique Fantastique, Maggie Roberts and Ra Tack, and curators the gallery has worked with over the years, including Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson, Kirsten Cooke and Nicole Sansone. The project reflects on the artists, conversations and projects that have shaped the gallery over the past two decades, and offers a wide range of current practices presented by an international community of artists.

All works in IMTwentyOne have been kindly donated by the participating artists. Proceeds from the auction will support IMT’s future curatorial and educational programmes. Works including painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture and prints will be exhibited at IMT Gallery in a democratic alphabetical hang, and made available via an online auction launching to coincide with London Gallery Weekend.

Founded in 2005, IMT Gallery is a contemporary art space in London dedicated to showcasing critically engaged and innovative art. With two decades of experience, the gallery has built a reputation for supporting boundary-pushing artists and presenting thought-provoking projects that delve into complex social, cultural, and philosophical themes. Alongside its exhibition programme, the gallery represents a core group of emerging to established artists, organises workshops and courses that offer a unique approach to engaging with art, and commissions experimental writing on critical contemporary art.

Bone Deep

Bone Deep represents a curatorial response to the term “muscular painting”, language used by the legendary Alex Katz in an interview from 2024. It’s a striking term, which creates a sense of physicality as well as internal rigour, a playoff between internalness and externalness. It envisions painting that has the determination of a glacier, pushing out beyond the surface, painting that seems to have a kind of inner, rippling force, the power of potentiality; the opposite of gesture, it’s a force from beneath.

Artists: Elvira Bernard, Karl Bielik, Nan Collantine, Jenny Eden, Sarah Grant, Scott McCracken, Gavin Shepherdson, Mikey Thomas, Henry Ward, Harriet Westgarth and Matilda Wainwright.

The Football Art Prize 2026

The Football Art Prize has announced its 2025/26 shortlist, selecting over 75 works from around 900 entries submitted by artists across the UK and internationally.

The Football Art Prize exhibition will take place at the Millennium Gallery, Sheffield before travelling to the National Football Museum, Manchester from November 2026 - February 2027.

The shortlisted works span painting, photography, drawing, printmaking, film and mixed media, and come from artists as far afield as Bangladesh, Jamaica, Greenland, Colombia, India and the Netherlands. Together they make a case for football as one of the richest subjects in contemporary art, carrying questions of identity, class, memory, gender, disability and belonging.

The exhibition was selected by a panel including Design Museum director Tim Marlow OBE, artist and writer Harland Miller and Tottenham Hotspur Women’s footballer Jessica Naz.

The exhibition includes work by CBP members Karl Bielik and Paul Smith (you can see the full list of artists on the website).

Where the Light Wanders / Where Silence Breaks

This June, Art Forward Gallery presents two concurrent shows, interlinked yet independent of each other: Where the Light Wanders and Where Silence Breaks

Where Silence Breaks features the work of Caroline Ashley, Lesley Bunch, Sonja Kresojevic, and Réka Laklia Ritt. Material, texture, and surface become central languages, with works that explore transformation, reflection, alchemy, and repetition. Across painting, textile, sculpture, and object-based practice, each artist creates work that holds tension between form and fragility, presence and absence.

In parallel, Where the Light Wanders features Tereza Červeňová, Mariam Menteshashvili, and Charlotte C Mortensson, presenting photography as a site of movement and transformation.

Across both exhibitions, a shared dialogue emerges - between image and object, light and silence, visibility and withdrawal. Together, they propose the exhibition space as a site of encounter, where meaning is not fixed but continually formed in relation to what is seen, and what remains just beyond it.

Art Forward Gallery, 12-14 Whitfield St, London W1 2RF

Bethan Lloyd Worthington, Nocturne, Slip with manganese dendritic mochaware on stoneware with parian additions and on glaze painting, h12cm x w13cm x d7cm, 2021. Photo credit: Kristian Day Gallery.

Slip

SLIP brings together ten artists whose practices explore the boundaries and possibilities of paint, extending beyond the flat surface and into clay.

Borrowing from the phrase often attributed to Peter Voulkos - “Clay is Just Thick Paint” - the exhibition considers ceramic surfaces as sites for painterly experimentation, where painting and sculpture converge: wet clay, slips, and glazes are built up and worked into expressive forms in which colour, texture, and gesture become inseparable. Together, they propose a porous boundary between disciplines, where painting does not end at the edge of the canvas but continues, materially and spatially, into the round.

Artists: Hannah Brown, Roberta Cialfi, Charlie Duck, Rebecca Elves, Marielle Heir,

Linda Hemmersbach, Bethan Lloyd Worthington, Ruth Murray, Matthew Richardson,

Small Prophets

Barbican Arts Trust’s Blackhorse Lane Studios are excited to announce Small Prophets, a new group exhibition in the ArtWorks Project Space, coinciding with their annual Open Studios weekend, this year in association with the return of the Walthamstow Art Trail.

Monumental art is often seen as the most valuable or significant, but this exhibition asks you to cherish the small, brief gesture, encouraging you to peer in to examine the tiniest details. Curated by studio member Barry Sykes, Small Prophets presents an array of modestly sized paintings, drawings, photographs and sculptures scattered across the walls of our gallery space. Magnifying glasses and binoculars will be available. The exhibition is titled after the recent BBC television series of the same name, where a reclusive neighbour uses ancient alchemical methods to conjure up 'homunculi' - little, floating, fortune telling creatures - in his garden shed. As the first series concluded we are still left unsure what powers they may have, a parallel drawn to the works in this show, potent yet ambiguous, their scale preserving the mystery. In the exhibition, Franki Austin's small painting shows a butterfly on the verge of extinction; Helen Maurer's miniature glass house refracts light across the walls; and Turner Prize winner Jasleen Kaur's suspended air freshener infuses the room with the faintest smell.

Artists: Franki Austin, Anja Borowicz, Ruth Calland, Julie Caves, Diane Chappalley, Olivia Crane, Katie Deith, Elizabeth de Monchaux, Pauline Evans, Jonet Harley-Peters, Aoife Hills, Neil Irons, Tam Joseph, Jasleen Kaur, Matthew Krishanu, Valerie Large, Kally Laurence, Lauren Little, Helen Maurer, Lucile Montague, Rebecca Munday, Daniela Rizzi, Luigi Rizzo, William Stok, Noga Shatz, YiMiao Shih, Barry Sykes, Emma Talbot.

Lesley Bunch: Shadow Sculpture 42, oil on aluminium, 40cm x 40cm, 2026

The Gloaming Plane

Following its inauguration at Terrace Gallery earlier this year, 'The Gloaming Plane' will tour to Germany this June, taking place at 35blumen Gallery with an extended line up. The Gloaming Plane brings together artists exploring the shifting space between painting and drawing - a zone where images remain in motion and resist fixed definition. "Gloaming," with its evocation of dusk and perceptual in-betweenness, offers a metaphor for this transitional field.

Each artist presents one painting and one drawing, connected not as study and outcome but through an indirect or intuitive relation that opens another register of meaning. Curated by Joshua Uvieghara through Pigment Cascade, an artist-led platform for practice-based enquiry, the exhibition foregrounds material thinking and interpretive openness. The pairing acts as a catalyst, allowing the image to circulate, resist closure, and remain in a state of becoming.

Artists: Karolina Albricht, Nick Carrick, Sunny Chengwei Geng, Max Gimson, Tabby Li, Hannah Luxton, Enzo Marra, Scott McCraken, Christian Mieves, Daniella Norton, Paige Perkins, Toby Rainbird, Rob Sosner, Dorry Spikes, Joshua Uvieghara, Henry Ward, Stephen Newton, Jen Metcalfe, Andrew Crane, Mike Stoakes, Karl Bielik, Alice Lane, Josephine Wood, Min Angel, Emma Lilly, Brian Cheeswright, Emma Tod, Lesley Bunch, Jenny Eden, Neil Zakiewicz, Laura L Bell, Bob and Roberta Smith.
