Welcome

It’s fair to say that 2020 wasn’t a fine vintage. Putting aside the tragic human costs involved, it will go down as a year Towers (or rather more accurately, my kitchen table) we decided to begin the new year on the front foot as well. In that spirit, we have put together an inspiring and rather special January 2021 issue for you. We begin with a visual feast. Starting on page 14, you will find interviews with 21 painters who we think will be the stars of tomorrow. They are a mixture of graduates, emerging artists and – in the case of one remarkable 18-year-old exception – a seasoned landscape painter with a decade’s experience.
