Andy Parkinson blogs about the Summer Saloon Show at Lion and Lamb Gallery, London, on view through September 1, 2013. 

Parkinson writes that "Forty three painters are represented… Many of them are well known, and many are artists previously not shown… A theatre of competing patterns might also be a description of the summer saloon show. One of the things I like about the Lion and Lamb Gallery is this continued bringing together of different painters, creating a rich dialogue about what contemporary painting is and might become."
