New Now
In 2023, Brynley Curated two shows at Guts Gallery in London, showcasing some of the best emerging artists in the UK.
Show Press Release:
Guts Gallery presents NEW NOW, a two-part group exhibition in collaboration with Brynley Odu Davies, featuring the next generation of UK artists. Since 2020, Brynley has photographed over 200 contemporary artists in their studios, documenting the diversity of the UK's emerging art scene. NEW NOW brings together the exceptional artists captured in Brynley's project.
In 2020, Brynley shifted from music photography to documenting South London-based artists, later expanding nationwide. His natural, minimal-edit style empowers subjects, capturing their essence and moment in time.
NEW NOW highlights a diverse range of artists, showcasing the resilience of the UK’s artistic spirit despite challenges like funding cuts and rising living costs. The exhibition features boundary-pushing artists shaping the future of UK art.
The show is accompanied by a new publication, Brynley’s first, featuring a selection of his studio portraits.
