lbf contemporary presents Like a beacon against the cold, an exhibition that focuses on how contemporary painters explore the complexities of identity and belonging within the dynamic backdrop of London, a city defined by its transience and rancour, as much as its pulsating creativity.

Inspired by Grace Nichol’s poem ‘Like a Beacon’, this exhibition acknowledges the truth that, throughout its history, the capital’s most dynamic painters have often been those who have chosen it––rather than inherited it––as their home.
