Curtis Holder exhibits in Drawing Biennial 2026 at Drawing Room, London

I am delighted to be exhibiting in Drawing Biennial 2026 at Drawing Room London. This twelfth edition of the biennial presents more than 280 newly commissioned drawings by leading international artists, celebrating drawing as a living and enduring form of expression.

Selected by a committee of Drawing Room’s Co-founders and Directors alongside invited curators and collectors, participating artists respond to themes spanning ecology, identity, spirituality, politics and imagined worlds. Each artist has been invited to produce a new drawing on A4 paper using any medium.

The free exhibition culminates in a two-week online auction fundraiser, with bidding starting at £400. As Drawing Room prepares to mark its 25th anniversary in 2027, this edition of the Drawing Biennial brings together artists working at the forefront of contemporary practice.

The exhibition runs from 16 April to 23 June 2026 at Drawing Room, London.
