Viewing A fresh cohort of art talent at New Contemporaries

New Contemporaries has returned to Camden Art Centre for the first time in 20 years, bringing with it a riveting cohort of artists emerging from UK art schools and other peer-to-peer learning programmes. This annual barometer of fresh talent has always been a way to gauge how the new generation is taking on some of the day’s big challenges, with this year’s themes including climate justice, identity politics and kinship, as you might expect.

Among The Wick’s standouts from the 55 artists are Emerson Pullman, a figurative painter whose portraits flex the boundaries between realism and abstraction; Osman Yousefzada, who reimagines immigrant spaces; Emily Kraus, known for her rhythmic mark-making, made with a unique collaboration between her body and a mechanical apparatus; and James Dearlove, who presents a trippy world haunted by the human figure.
