Tuesday 14th October, 4:30pm — 5:30pm: Guided tour of Urban Dwellers at The Painting Rooms

LVH Art invites members of Shoreditch Arts Club to Urban Dwellers, a group exhibition reactivating one of London’s most atmospheric and historic landmarks. Set within the industrial rooms of 1-5 Flitcroft St in London’s Westend, the exhibition reclaims the site - formerly devoted to theatre set painting - as a stage for contemporary art, where the energy of urban life is reflected upon and reimagined.

Bringing together works by an international roster of leading emerging artists, the presented works capture the textures and rhythms of urban life. From quiet moments of solitude to the ecstatic pulse of a crowded nightclub or the simple poetry of a brick-lined street, Urban Dwellers reflects the manifold ways in which urban environments shape our inner and outer worlds. The show draws inspiration from Martin Wong’s iconic quote, “Everything I paint is within four blocks of where I live, and the people are the people I know and see all the time.” In this spirit, Urban Dwellers invites viewers to consider the city as both subject and collaborator, a shared stage where lived experience, identity, and imagination collide.

Featured artists include Gabrielė Adomaitytė, Jamiu Agboke, Lorenzo Amos, Filippo Antonello, Sophie Birch, Casey Bolding, Max Boyla, Channatip Chanvipava, Jiang Cheng, Francesco Cima, Nicole Coson, Dustin Emory, Bendt Eyckermans, Jameela Stenheden Gordon-King, Samuel Haitz, Julien Heintz, Kingsley Ifill, Leonardo Meoni, Katherina Olschbaur, Danielle Orchard, Paul Robas, Orfeo Tagiuri, Rafal Topolewski, Leon Xu, and Yooyun Yang.
