The Sunday Painter is taking part in Frieze London this week with a group presentation at Booth B12, bringing together six artists from its programme: Cynthia Daignault, Tomas Harker, Patrick H. Jones, Emily Kraus, Harminder Judge and Thiang Uk. The fair runs from 14 to 18 October 2026 in Regent's Park, with preview days on 14 and 15 October before opening to the public.

The presentation centres on painting's relationship to time and perception. Emily Kraus's canvases propose the coexistence of linear and cyclical temporalities, her process oscillating between spontaneous mark-making and periods of reflection, informed by meditative, yogic and somatic practices. The works vibrate with an underlying rhythm, carried by a steady cadence of vertical lines that structure the space like a metronome, and sit alongside new pieces by Daignault, Harker, Jones and Judge.

Thiang Uk, the Myanmar-born painter, has been a particular focus for the gallery this season — his first UK solo show, 'Forever and a Day', opened at the Vauxhall space to strong attention. His inclusion on the Frieze stand extends the gallery's push behind the artist, placing his work before the fair's international collector base.

Frieze London's 2026 edition features around 172 galleries across its main sections. The Sunday Painter, based in Vauxhall, is among the younger London galleries using the fair's October platform to introduce its roster to international collectors, sharing the fair with fellow London spaces including Kate MacGarry, Maureen Paley, Modern Art and Union Pacific. The stand's six-artist hang is designed to read as a single conversation about image-making across generations, from Daignault's time-based canvases to Judge's sculptural paintings.
