WEST CONTEMPORARY GALLERY and KERRIDGE’S BAR & GRILL present you from 27 July – 30 September 2022 in London : VOICES IN BRITISH ART VOLUME 2

One of the UK’s leading restaurants, operated by an award-winning and highly celebrated British TV chef, has teamed up with a London-based international art consultancy and several acclaimed, domestically based artists to create a world-class art show within the spectacular settings of a legendary 5-star hotel.

Kerridge’s Bar & Grill, led by Michelin-star chef and noted innovator Tom Kerridge, has once again enlisted notable art gallerists West Contemporary (supported by Manifold Editions) to curate the exhibition ‘Voices in British Art: Second Edition’, housed within the resplendence of Embankment’s Corinthia London, widely considered one of the best hotels in the world.

Having become a respected destination in the capital for both art aficionados and culinary enthusiasts alike with the first installment of ‘Voices in British Art’ in July, 2020, Kerridge’s Bar & Grill extended its dining experience for patrons, while also making leading-exhibition level artwork accessible for guests. Works by Chris Ofili, Damien Hirst, Marc Quinn, Jonathan Yeo, Beth Cullen-Kerridge, and Harland Miller among others have adorned each wall in the restaurant for the past two years, regularly receiving praise by critics and the public.

Now, ‘Voices in British Art: Second Edition’ brings the mesmerizing names of globally established artistic royalty in Hirst and Quinn together with other highly established names in Gavin Turk and Fin DAC, and plays host to the continuing emergence of the likes of Alexander de Cadenet, Bradley Theodore, Carne Griffiths, Raul, and Boo Saville as leading lights in an eclectic offering of notable British or domestically based artists.

Tom Kerridge : “This stunning exhibition of British artists at our beautiful home in central London brings everything a top-level gallery show offers, all under one roof. Guests can enjoy a full and immersive dining experience at Kerridge’s Bar & Grill, surrounded by beautiful paintings, sculptures, and original artwork. Alongside many sacrifices and hardship, the pandemic, and particularly lockdowns – illustrated to everyone the importance of hospitality, be it pubs, restaurants, cafés or hotels.

Not only did we miss the ability to easily enjoy the quality dining experiences found in Britain, we also keenly felt the loss of social interaction, group celebrations, and the noise and energy of our favorite eateries. Moreover, we came to realize the importance of art – how it entertains and stimulates us during difficult periods, and the dividends of the creative output of all different types of artists.

‘Voices in British Art: Second Edition’ celebrates and embraces both art and dining. During restrictions, I spoke on the importance of the recovery period for the hospitality sector, and this is part of our way of giving even further reason for the public to take the time to come and enjoy a meal or drink with friends and loved ones. They’ve earned it, and we believe we have created something very special, timely and needed as we all begin to move forward together and enjoy those moments and memories we’ve been craving during such a difficult period… while guests enjoy brilliant art, food and service all in one place.”

Voices in British Art: Second Edition, Kerridge’s Bar & Grill at the Corinthia Hotel, London, Number 10 Northumberland Avenue, London, WC2N 5AE. Tel +44 207 321 3244. 27 July – 30 September, 2022.
