ROH is delighted to announce our first exhibition of the year, New Paintings, focusing on recent works by Nadya Jiwa, Naotaka Hiro, Ser Serpas, Wei Jia and Tith Kanitha.

The exhibition presents works as emerging from this particular historical moment, a period in which concerns about one’s freedom, the dissolution of the body, and a broader loss of grip on reality are manifested by artists in material terms.

Shown for the first time together, the exhibition presents a dialogue between artists who are continuing to break ground in this medium, addressing its history and ongoing relevance as syntax for contemporaneity and its expression.
