Stiwdio Griffith presents Disruptive Painting, a new exhibition curated by Maison Trampoline that brings together fourteen contemporary British and Irish painters whose work has never before been considered side-by-side. The exhibition investigates how disruption operates within painting today – whether as a formal strategy, a conceptual framework, or an intervention in the artist’s own creative routines.
What does it mean for painting—a medium with centuries of history—to be disruptive? Disruptive Painting explores how painters innovate in response to new technologies, shifting social contexts, and the demands of their own practices. Through a taxonomical curatorial approach, the exhibition traces unexpected connections between artists, revealing new patterns, affinities, and divergences across their work.
