The Reason for Painting – Mead Gallery Warwick Arts centre
The exhibition profiled a diverse group of emerging artists united through their exploration of colour and paint, using abstraction to reflect on contemporary life.
The Reason for Painting drew inspiration from the University of Warwick’s founding art collection, Art Riot Collective artists Roxsmith, Bryony Line, Richard Raponi, Matthew Wigmore, and Ketan Mistry were featured in the exhibition. Alongside this, Mead Gallery created a replica of Art Riot Collective’s studio space, inviting both artists and members of the public to make work that was displayed as part of the exhibition.
Art Riot Collective also developed accessible interpretation and guidance, ensuring the space was inclusive and accessible to all audiences.
