Visionaries brings together artists working in this honourable and challenging tradition, which includes William Blake, Goya and Samuel Palmer – those who explore with passion the territories of the spiritual, the religious and the human condition.

Their vigorous work spans almost 100 years. The exhibition will include works by a number of painters, who although they are no longer alive, are still hugely influential: Stanley Spencer, Cecil Collins, Norman Adams, Tony Goble and Albert Herbert. They are joined by contemporary artists: Peter Howson, Clive Hicks-Jenkins, Brian Whelan, the Chapman brothers, Billy Childish and Adam Neate (tbc). The prophetic tradition, with its history of dramatic enactment, is a rich one. This exhibition therefore also includes performances by artists such as Bill Aitchison and Kit Poulson.

The exhibition has been curated by Wallspace.
